Hi Karen, > if the content is still there.
I think I understand the problem, and I have hit it as well on a visual display. Basically, yes, when you scroll, sometimes previous content is not erased if the new line is shorter than the old line. This probably has to do with both the way lynx is compiled (which termcap/curses/slang/etc. library it uses), the actual terminal (emulator) in use (and how the $TERM variable is set), and possibly the page content (I have seen this more often if “funny” Unicode characters were used). Mismatching character sets between the document and the locale and/or lynx config are also a possible cause. I’m sorry I cannot offer a general advice / fix, other than noting that, when I notice the issue, I press ^L (Control-L) to redraw the screen, and it goes away. If you hit this again on a page whose content is not private, maybe save that page (press V (uppercase v) then d (lowercase d) to download it, confirm a filename) and then hand that file to your support. Maybe they can reproduce the issue with the file in question and the same terminal settings, and then they can hopefully either find terminal/locale/lynx settings that make the issue stop or recompile lynx with different libraries until it’s fixed.
