Summary:
After a period of time, windows on an external display do not refresh correctly.

The behavior occurs consistently on a Retina iMac using either a Dell 30" monitor with a Dual-link DVI adaptor or an Apple Thunderbolt Display.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use your Mac for a day or two.
2. Move a window around on the external display.


Expected Results:
The window should not "sparkle".


Actual Results:
The window on the external display (non-Retina) "sparkles".

Here is a movie of it in action:

Notes:
This behavior does not occur when you try to do a screen recording using QuickTime Player.
