Emulator, usually running over a 28.8Kbps link. The redisplay
seems to be doing a screen repaint without a full-screen clear.
So I see the cursor dancing around but that's about it.
It is much worse when run on an actual terminal. That's why I called
it a show-stopper.
Not that I care myself -- I use X now. But as someone who used XEmacs
(not FSF Emacs) on terminals for some time, I know I'd be monstrously
annoyed by such a "feature". In applications like Gnus and VM your
frame is split most of the time, making every minibuffer operation
imply screen repaint. In an emulator, this is acceptable. On a
terminal... hardly.
