Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx word bleeding?

[Travis Siegel]

I know it's a hassle, but you can always use ctrl-L to redraw the 
screen, then it reads only the current screen as it redraws it. I've 
used this many times to solve the exact problem you're referring to.  I 
am not sure what exactly causes it, but I believe it's related to the 
vt100 vs. ansi terminal settings.  Sometimes I was able to fix it by 
changing my terminal type, sometimes not. You may be able to turn off 
color changes in the lynx cfg which may solve this problem as well.  
There's apparently different method used to update the screen when ansi 
codes are used, as opposed to rewriting the whole screen when vt100 
terminal emulation is used.

At least, that's been my experience over the years with any terminal 
program, not just lynx.
