It's unusual to have the display completely blanking, most people just
see small localised glitches. Usually it can be solved by forcing a
redisplay of some sort, which is what you can see in Devon's example
as he moves the cursor across the lines, which forces redisplay of
those lines.
I would prefer not to back-port to Emacs 27, but if you think it's
necessary I'll give it a go.
