Did you change the > mode using vidcontrol(8) or does it happen with plain 80x25? Plain 80x25. In fact I wish I could remember how to change to 80x50 :o) I just discovered by accident that if I keep typing (any) characters the characters will disappear randomly as I type, until I get a linewrap. At that point the entire line I just typed suddenly appears normal. If I continue typing on the (wrapped) line, it will again blank out chars randomly until I reach the second linewrap, when *both* lines on the screen suddenly appear normal again. Does that mean anything to you? Pretty mysterious to me.
