Just tried both MXI G2 and MXI 4.3 on a 68x142 display and I was able to re-create the probem with MXI 4.3. It appears to be a boundary error when calculating the dynamic area size for scrolling operations.
MXI G2 handles this screen size just fine.

I've been using 68x142 instead of 62x142 since I posted this in February and I'm used to the smaller font size. The only problem I've run into is MXI when I exit some panels: ******************************************************* * ISPV006 * * Data truncation occurred * Data for CHAR format variable "MXIBUF" was too long. * ******************************************************* MXI G2 probably does not have this problem. I may switch back to 62 x 142 (6 lines less real estate isn't that much). >From the ISPF User Guide Vol II, this is the official support statement: 2.1.2 Terminal characteristics 1. ISPF supports screen sizes from 24 x 80 characters to 62 x 160 characters.
