It looks like a display driver bug to me.
You didn't mention your video card / display driver, is it an integrated Intel chip ?
Then xserver-xorg-video-intel would be a good candidate.
The best would be if you could have a look at the upstream bug tracker and see if your problem isn't already tracked there and if not open a bug there directly.
The xorg wiki has a "reporting problems" section here :
https://www.x.org/wiki/
Opening a bug in Debian too is a good idea in order to track the issue in the BTS and link it to the upstream bug report.
Happy hacking !
