Please name your hardware "onboard intel" is too vague.
Also there has been a recent fix in upstream clutter that should improve that.
(Background: When typing we only update the part of the screen that
actually changed
but where just batching up commands and waiting for the driver to
process them when it feels like it,
it has been fixed by explicitly flushing after submitting the commands).
The fix is in clutter 1.6.4, not sure if it hit the repos yet. Please
try
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=228703 if you
where running clutter < 1.6.4 otherwise please file a bug and provide
details (would be an other issue).
