This bug appears in current (X)ubuntu 16.10. Whether appears in 16.04 is unknown. (Perhaps not, else I could notice it earlier.) I tried to make a test in a virtual (virtualboxed) Xubuntu_16.04.1 - no bug! Then I made a test in a (similar) virtualboxed Xubuntu_16.10 - no bug either! So in "real" Xubuntu the bug appears, but in virtualboxed one (the *same* Xubuntu) does not.
When I do scrolling (in a TotalCmd filecontent-comparison window), (in the real Xubuntu) Xorg consumes about 23% CPU, which I guess probably means almost 100% of one "core" (or "cpu thread" or what). I have a 64bit Samsung laptop, with i915 video. I will try to attach output of 'lspci -vvnn' and two /var/log/Xorg.0.log* files. $ rdesktop rdesktop: A Remote Desktop Protocol client. Version 1.8.3.
