Did you see this with UEFI? If yes, please open a PR. If no, I guess I'll
try to setup an UEFI machine to test. It turned out the work machine I
misremembered to boot in UEFI mode only uses GPT but with MBR.
Anyway, the effect I see is not erasing / overwriting the ends of lines
properly after or when scrolling back and forth again; this smells like an
optimization that implicitly assumes only ever writing downwards.
Should be easily (ha!) to spot by staring at the code.
