This is reproducible via ssh as well as on a local terminal. I've seen this under Ubuntu 14.04.2 with emacs23 (23.4+1-4.1ubuntu1) and emacs24 (24.3+1-2ubuntu1). Here's an askubuntu question with reproduction instructions and a screenshot: http://askubuntu.com/questions/418546/emacs-screen-drawing-issues-over-ssh 1. emacs ~/.bash_history 2. C-s cd (incremental search for "cd") 3. keep hitting C-s (aka jump to the next search result) This can be easily reproduced under VirtualBox, create a VirtualBox vm with two vcpus, search in emacs and terrible things happen. Reduce to one vcpu and everything's peachy keen.
