That happens to us, too.  It looks like Windows doesn't know how to
save/restore some SVGA video state (but it can handle plain VGA OK).
I spent a day trying to figure out how Executor could notice Windows
hotkeying back and forth, but failed.

I have, however, extended alt-shift-7 to not only repaint the screen
but also to reset the video mode.  So that may be an acceptable
workaround.  Suboptimal, but it should get the job done.
