I'm using XCE 1.2.0.6 as packaged by Xubuntu 11.04. I don't know enough about the various API layers to guess what might be causing this behavior, but since XCE is the only app giving me this problem, I'm beginning here.
When scrolling down using the mouse wheel, lines of text that were clipped by the bottom edge of the window are not fully rendered when they move farther up the page. (Screenshot) This does not occur when I scroll using the arrow keys (because the cursor moves, causing each line to be highlighted and re-rendered) or when I use PgDn.
Also, the autocomplete menu remains visible when I switch to another tab in XCE, or even raise another window on top of XCE.

Thanks for alerting me to these issues. One of them could be fixed at my end I think (the tag completion should float on top of the application window, but not other applications of course) - the other might well be resolved if I finally get round to upgrading to a current build of the framework (wxWidgets in this case).

The problem with artifacts during scrolling seems to have been caused by Ubuntu's overlay scrollbars. When I removed the packages overlay-scrollbar and liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0 (because they're ugly as hell) the problem with XCE fixed itself.
