urxvt: garbled text after a resize

Hi,

I use compiz-standalone and have a few problem with urxvt that I can't seem to solve it. I tried googling but came up with nothing.
First problem is, when I resize the urxvt to a a very small window and than back to original or bigger size I get garbled text.

:Before:

:After:

Also the resizing is slow and takes few seconds to complete. X gets high CPU usage at this time as well. Every other  application windows resize fine without lag or CPU usage.

Second problem is, when urxvt waiting for command whenever I use tab arrow or backspace keys urxvt window will flash white for every key stroke sent by those keys. if I hold any of those keys urxvt window will flash black and white non stop until the key is released.

I removed the .Xdefaults but didn't help, I tried commenting out options in .Xdefaults one by one no use either. I was using compiz-standalone and urxvt before my hard drive failure 2 weeks ago and I never had this problem. Need your help badly.

Thanks in advance.

Re: urxvt: garbled text after a resize

Second problem is, when urxvt waiting for command whenever I use tab arrow or backspace keys urxvt window will flash white for every key stroke sent by those keys. if I hold any of those keys urxvt window will flash black and white non stop until the key is released.

That's the visual bell, try setting URxvt.visualBell to false in Xdefaults.

Also, bumping for the first problem (Which I have too).
