You can also mitigate this issue by having the compositor determine which areas need repainting.
i.e. I use compton with --glx-use-copysubbuffermesa.

Thx. I did disable the built in composite for some reason. I enabled the composite and the error went away.
I watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3esPpe-fclI to understand the reason to run a composite.

I had the same problem initially with Mint 18 and Cinnamon. I found a video somewhere targeted at Ubuntu but it works in mint.

Add these lines to /etc/environment
CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling
CLUTTER_VBLANK=True

I'll be honest, I have no idea what that does, but it works.

I'll try to find the link again.

Thanks! That solved my issues as well.
