I guess our environments differs in some aspect. Is there anything I
should check?

The problem still appears after doing that.

I just noticed that C-l also cleans up the display (perhaps not that
surprising).

I just found a simpler recipe to reproduce the problem:

 * Start emacs -Q
 * Split the window in two: C-x 2
 * Unsplit it: C-x 1

The text in the *scratch* buffer is repeated after where the line should
end:

and it stays that way until I do something, like editing the buffer or
pressing C-l, for instance. Both with and without double buffering.


  Best regards,
