Description Apurv 2017-06-19 15:29:21 UTC
This issue has been encountered on the following distributions:
  1. Fedora 25 - Gnome (Wayland)
       kernel: Linux x86_64 4.8.6

  2. Debian 9 Stretch - Gnome (X11), KDE Plasma 5.8 (X11)
       kernel: Linux x86_64 4.9
       mesa: 13.0

  3. Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 (X11)
       kernel: Linux x86_64 4.10
       mesa: 17.0

Renderer: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Sandybridge Mobile

I've recorded a video capturing the issue as it is:

This problem was observed whenever a window on the screen was resized (Nautilus, Firefox, Dolphin, etc.) and the content needed to be update.

I've seen similar problems also with Debian Stretch (not Jessie) and was able to fix it by disabling SNA (default) with UXA (old) Acceleration.
This was with a Mobile Broadwell.

Cloud you try this...

Create a file say 20-intel.conf and put in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d directory in Debian Stretch:

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"
    Driver     "intel"
    Option     "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection

Restart your DisplayManager and try to reproduce.
