In LYMainLoop.c, near the line 500:
        "if (display_partial &&"...
we may need to add a check like !dump_output_immediately
(in fact, more general condition required).




#ifdef DISP_PARTIAL
                display_partial = display_partial_flag; /* reset */
                Newline_partial = newdoc.line; /* initialize */
                NumOfLines_partial = 0;        /* initialize */
                /*
                 *  Disable display_partial if requested URL has #fragment.
                 *  Otherwise user got the new document from the first page and
                 *  be moved to #fragment later after download completed, but
                 *  only if user did not mess screen up by scrolling before...
                 *  So fall down to old behavior here.
                 */
                if (display_partial && (strchr(newdoc.address, '#')==NULL))
                        display_partial = TRUE;
                else
                        display_partial = FALSE;
#endif /* DISP_PARTIAL */

Unfortunately, the Options menu limited in the size to fit one page...
