Recently I've been running into issues with urxvt not updating portions of the screen. It's most noticeable in Vim, where the bottom-half of the screen will sometimes take a second or more to update after I've moved the cursor, but I've also caught it happening in other terminal applications. I'm running on a Dell XPS 9550 with a quad-core i7, 16 GB RAM, and an NVIDIA 960M graphics card (controlled with bumblebee). Needless to say, console applications shouldn't lag the way they are. I'm running rxvt-unicode-patched from AUR. I don't think I've always had this problem, but I don't know what changed to cause it.

Are you setting TERM somewhere in one of your shell rc files? What is the output of `echo $TERM`?

I have a very similar setup (XPS 9350) and have the same problem. For me the issue goes away if I kill compton but I'm unsure if that's the root cause or not because it used to work fine with compton.

Are you, by chance, running Wayland instead of Xorg? Gnome relentlessly broke a bunch of stuff by switching to that steaming little pile of fun by default.

Nope not running Wayland or Gnome. Haven't tried killing compton as a solution, but for obvious reasons I'd prefer not to.

And everyone else will prefer to know whether compton is a relevant part here ... :-P
Ie. kill it for knowledge.

I don't have a solution but I've been having the same problem as well. Running bspwm with compton. Killing compton also stopped the problem. I've been fiddling with my compton settings (not 100% certain what I'm doing, more of exploratory surgery) but haven't been able to correct the issue.
