I don't know the cause, but I can confirm it occurs.  I've been
meaning to report it for a while now.

When the bottom line of the content display (immediately above
the status line) contains one or more links, one of those links
is active, and I up-arrow to the next previous link, the link I
leave keeps the active-link highlighting.  All the links I arrow
through on that bottom line will hold the active highlighting,
but the next line up un/highlights normally.

This is dev8 (and several previous) on cygwin, ncurses,
color-style.  My active-link and status-line highlighting were
identical in lynx.lss, but I changed one of them and verified the
links are picking up the active-link highlighting, not the
status-line highlighting.  Advanced/novice status-line settings
both give the same behavior.

So I guess the screen line adjacent to the status isn't getting
refreshed or repainted or whatever.  Let me know if more info
would help.
