I'm using RHEL6.6 but emacs is behaving very strange. Letters disappear
(doesn't show) while I write or scroll. I have to do Ctrl-L to refresh to see
the letters. Extremely annoying and I can hardly use emacs anymore. Version on
emacs is 1:23.1-25.el6. I downloaded a newer emacs and compiled it, but the
problem persists. Could it have something to do with X or gdm?
I have been running RHEL6.4 for a couple of years and had no problem with emacs
there.
Snapshot of how it looks when I write or just move around with the cursor. Note
that all spaces actually have chars:

If I then reload page with Ctrl-L, the window looks like this. The characters
are suddenly visible.

But as soon as I start write or move cursor, the characters will be invisible
again.
emacs -q, emacs -Q or changing fonts won't help. What to do??? I love emacs but
I can't use it when it behaves like this...
I run RHEL6.6 out-of-the-box as a virtual machine in VMware. It is exactly the
same environment as I had in RHEL6.4 and there were no problems with emacs there
