Giving the option --print-over (or -c) to more, erases the line on the
screen before writing the new content. This works most of the time, but
missing at one location. Give the command:
more --print-over /etc/*
The first and third lines show 14 colons. The second line shows the
filename. The line with the filename is however not erased before
writing the filename. This results in that the old text is still visible
after the filename.
The fix is to add an erase-line before writing the filename to screen.
Add the conditional erase_line before line 1910 in file more.c
