Bug Description
Every so often, particularly when going through a set of messages quickly (though it's hard to reproduce) the mail view pane in evolution stops refreshing. That is, it'll get stuck showing whatever it was showing. Content is being rendered there (I can tell because mouseover things still work as expected, you just can't see where they are) but it's not showing up. If I right-click on it, the image of the menu will remain there. If I hide and reshow the pane (ctrl-m) it doesn't fix it, it comes back but still nothing gets drawn there.
I'm not using compositing (I'm running xmonad), so that will influence some of these symptoms I expect.

I can't reproduce this issue, it might be specific to using xmonad...
Would it be possible for you to try out the same actions in the default window manager, so in Unity; or another such a xfce or anything else?
