Regression of bug 992516. Though I never did an explicit fix for bug 992516. It was only marked as fixed because it appeared to be fixed at the time.

I suggest a proper fix (for this bug) would be to call CompositeScreen::damageScreen when the dash is restored.

summary: - screen is not drawn correctly when dash is resized
