It is almost impossible to fix without saving more context lines around the cursor area. BRLTTY would have to "see" that some of the screen content is scrolling up or down and treat the line content as a new line even though the cursor position didn't change vertically. The same code could allow for a mode where the braille window moves up or down automatically to follow the scrolling screen content. That would be very handy when reading through an IRC session for example, and new messages keep on appearing at the bottom.
