It just happened to me again. I'm attaching a screenshot, which is
interesting as it shows that the pane is still scrolling, just the
content in it isn't rendering. The scrollbar moves when I scroll, also.

Just before this happened, I flicked to a different workspace, and when
I came back, none of the evolution UI repainted until something caused
it to happen (e.g. mouseover.) Then I changed message, it rendered, and
then stopped rendering when I tried to scroll. The reason that you can't
see the partial message in here is that I changed workspace and back
again by accident, which makes it paint as the default colour.

Not sure if this is a useful data point, but it might be.

Note that this is almost certainly related to Bug #876055 that I
reported shortly before this one, and is the same symptom but in Gnome
Terminal.

(also, I think the launchpad janitor got it wrong, I suspect it's
evolution or gtk or something rather than xmonad.)

Title:
  evolution mail view stops updating

Status in “evolution” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “xmonad” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Every so often, particularly when going through a set of messages
  quickly (though it's hard to reproduce) the mail view pane in
  evolution stops refreshing. That is, it'll get stuck showing whatever
  it was showing. Content is being rendered there (I can tell because
  mouseover things still work as expected, you just can't see where they
  are) but it's not showing up. If I right-click on it, the image of the
  menu will remain there. If I hide and reshow the pane (ctrl-m) it
  doesn't fix it, it comes back but still nothing gets drawn there.

  I'm not using compositing (I'm running xmonad), so that will influence
  some of these symptoms I expect.
