It doesn't happen to me.  (Although using F12 on Windows is not a good
idea anyway, as that key forces break into debugger on some Windows
versions.)

All I can say that it doesn't happen here, and I've never seen
anything like that in all the years I'm using Emacs on Windows.

Can it be that this has something to do with your display settings
and/or the video acceleration?

Video acceleration would be my first suspect.
