Ok here is the deal:
The text showing weirdly is realted to font choice as I discovered today. Using fixed
fonts corrected the problem.
It's weird as far as I am concerned but this is how it works.
As for the position part, it was my mistake as I also discovered today. I forgot to
count
newlines when scrolling to that position.
Anyway, your answer helped track down the bug and understand the color part, so thanks
a lot.
