Public bug reported:

While using emacs in Ubuntu Unity, new text does not always draw.
However, when you point the cursor where the text should be... it then
gets rendered properly.  This behavior is the same for both "Ubuntu"
(unity) and "Ubuntu Classic", but goes away when I use "Ubuntu Classic
(no effects)."  Thus, I'm pretty sure it's an issue with the compositor.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Log in to "Ubuntu" or "Ubuntu Classic" from gdm
2. Open a text file for editing with emacs.
3. Open another one.
4. Switch between them.

EXPECTED RESULTS:
To see all text in the minibuffer without any problems.

ACTUAL RESULTS:
The minibuffer appears blank.  If you use the left and right arrows to move the cursor in the minibuffer, the text will appear.

KNOWN WORKAROUNDS:
Change step 1 to log in to Ubuntu Classic (No effects).
