Perhaps a window resize event makes Vim recompute some things and then
it works again?  Just guessing.

If some option gets a wrong value, such as 'lines' or 'columns', that
would cause display errors.  You could do the following:

        redir > /tmp/settings_1
        set! all
        redir END

Do this when everything works OK and later when things are wrong, using
a different file name.  Then compare the output and try to spot the
difference.  If you see an option with a suspect value, you can possibly
find out where it was set with e.g.:

        :verbose set lines?
