My copy of elvis has been doing this since I started using it with Linux
0.96. I thought it was a sloppy compile but I see I'm not the only one.
I have a more serious problem. I keep losing my scrolling on the 25th
line! This would happen to me occassionally with earlier versions of
Linux, but I'm getting it much more frequently now with 0.97 patch2.
I'm not sure when it started, but it is getting quite annoying now.
Does anyone know if there is a command to reset a VC after it stops
scrolling on the 25th line?
