Say I have two documents open. Document A is long and occupies more than
one screen. Document B is short.
If I switch from tab A to tab B, not all the screen is redrawn: there is
document B on the top half, while in the bottom half there is still part
of document A.
Pretty figure:
Screen displaying document A:
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA
Screen displaying document B:
BBBBBBBBBBBB
BBBBBBBBBBBB
............
...(empty)..
............
After switching from A to B:
BBBBBBBBBBBB
BBBBBBBBBBBB
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAAAAA
