Public bug reported: I've seen this happen with Gedit and Google Chrome, and I'm alsmost sure with other apps too.
At random times, the contents of a window stop being updated. You can type or click things and nothing seems to happen, as if the program had halted, but then you resize the window or switch to another one and come back, and you see the contents updated, with all the results of your previous interction. This is extremely critical. I'm going to confirm this myself because I've already seen it on two different machines.
