This is documented in the man page:

BUGS
     When using a strip chart display, and some other window obscures part of
     the strip chart, the bar will gradually turn to black.  This is because
     an in-framebuffer copy operation is used to make the strip appear to
     move, and when part of the window is obscured there is nothing to copy.
     It is not clear that this bug will ever be fixed, because of the
     performance advantages of this style of update.
