I turn off show window contents when dragging, but with it enabled you might see several rectangles instead of one larger one as it repaints/refreshes through the mouse path

Laptop nvidia 4070 and the latest as well another one prior. But if it does it in software rendering and no display issues anywhere else?

We don't have any known issues with resizing or moving our swap chain (render target), but there are plenty prior cases of this exact issue happening due to DWM and driver issues.

I recommend updating to Windows 11 24H2 (build 26100) and doing a clean reinstall of the Nvidia driver version 566.36. It's important to do a clean reinstall. Coincidentally this video came out just today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTXoUsdSAnA&t=1262s

I'm just trying to keep this straight. I had this issue not in any games, not in anywhere on the desktop, only in windows terminal...

So i had ALREADY had this issue on a previous driver version NOT the specific one I am using 572.83 BUT:

I still wanted to know for sure if there was any chance, and on 566.36 as well I'm still having the issue. That's 3 different driver versions of a display driver that only has issues in one place, Windows terminal and using software rendering (or not) any combinations of rendering options. Why is everyone thinking this is an nvidia issue?

Not all that many applications use "Multi-Plane Overlays" (MPO), games in particular seldomly do. We use them to blend the terminal contents with the window contents (this is involuntary - we can't not do this).

I also had this issue for a while, because I have almost the exact same hardware. It also only happened to Windows Terminal, and even weirder it only happened on one of my two monitors. I never figured out what caused it because it went away after several driver and OS updates. Windows Terminal however didn't change throughout that period.

If it's a possibility for you, and if you don't mind doing so, I'd like to ask you to update to build 26100 (24H2) or later. If that doesn't fix your issue, let me know and I'll contact the DWM maintainers internally.

Well on first look after upgrade it's improved it almost completely I'm getting only a 1 pixel border around the old window at worst and it doesn't seem as common

I'm probably needing a lot more updates (?) so maybe it gets even better

Thanks for confirming that it's improved! I'm going to close this out since the primary issue is resolved... but I'd be interested in seeing a photo of the extra 1px border if you have a chance.
