Versions 3.21.92-1 and 3.21.91-2 are both affected

Versions without redraw issues are only 3.20

Downgrade to 3.20 from Debian snapshots helped:

gir1.2-mutter-3.0_3.20.3-2_amd64.deb
gnome-shell-common_3.20.3-1_all.deb
gnome-shell_3.20.3-1_amd64.deb
libmutter0h_3.20.3-2_amd64.deb
mutter-common_3.20.3-2_all.deb
mutter_3.20.3-2_amd64.deb
