if i cat a long file (eg: /etc/services), and scroll back through it
with scrollbar or shift-pgup, large empty spaces are periodically
inserted into the display where there were none.  other terminals
(xterm, rxvt, gnome-terminal) don't display this empty space.

Try setting REFRESH_PERIOD in src/feature.h to 1 or 2 before compile
if this really bothers you.  It will slow things down, but it will
prevent those large blank spaces.

Personally, I prefer the speed. :-)

HTH,
