How to get rid of graphical streaks on WSL1 and X11 server?

ru flag

I have a WSL1 app in my Windows10 on my laptop. I installed VcXsrv and I launch it and I manually specify the Display Number to be 0 . I do: $export DISPLAY=:0 in the WSL1 bash. I installed the xfce4 window manager in WSL1 and I can launch xfce4-session in WSL1 when the VcXsrv is open. All works fine.

I have problems with some graphical glitches. I launch a GUI application using the xfce4 terminal. Some streaks appear from time to time in that GUI. Especially when I scroll very fast through a lot of text. This is annoying and it doesn't disappear after a time. Only scrolling in the opposite direction helps a bit, but never restores the full text, but only parts of it, the right half being artificially position bit higher / lower than its left part. Terrible. I am attaching a screenshot with a representative example.Streaks!

I don't know how to solve this or what shall I search for to solve it. I tried to do Google searches for graphical streaks in WSL1 etc, but with no result. Please can you give me some pointers OR tell me IF I CAN SOLVE IT at all?

Also, in the WSL1 bash terminal (in a Windows Terminal bash set to Ubuntu from the drop-menu) if I enter a command which is too long and spans 2 rows and then delete part of it and I want to re-write after I deleted that half, the same streaks behavior appears. The letters I type overlap the remaining ones for no reason and a mess arises. Sometimes it also doesn't delete the whole command, but stops at around 4-5 characters before the first character after the $

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
