You might want to try toggling the allpartial on|off setting in screen,
and see if that helps. There's also a -a fklag that affects your
termcap, which might also be helpful.

For a manual process, CTRL-L or CTRL-A,SHIFT-F will usually get rid of
screen artifacts, some of which are simply inevitable when dealing with
curses-based screen updates.
