[Wayne Buttles]

Doug and others, is this just an echo() tweak or something?

Subject: strange bug from courses in lynx_386

A strange unregular screen behavior found with binaries
from www.fdisk.com (.97 and before):

*Sometimes* while navigating through html's
if I press "v" for bookmark I see this letter displayed
above the cursor for a moment until the bookmark loaded.
Again, if I select a link (press Enter or right-arrow)
the highlighted text around the cursor
(between <A HREF=...> and </A> in the source)
became unvisible for a moment until the required link loaded.

This is especially notable on slow 386 and for large enough documents.
I cannot reproduce when it is happens, but it was really found many times,
seems display attributes interprets differently in *some* cases.


Leonid.
