That's interesting - I see that all the time in the console and assumed it
was something to do with the configuration at my end (accessing via
Putty).

For normal scrolling text I don't have any problems with the console,
however when editing in-situ e.g. with nano/emacs the screen often starts
to freeze and the effective text window decreases until I have no choice
but to disconnect and try again.

It is little more than a pain at the moment, however I was planning an
Lenny-to-Squeeze upgrade and am concerned now as I really don't want any
issues like this mid way.

Has anyone else seen this and/or got any ideas how to resolve it?

Mathew

P.S. I could probably take a video of the problem if it helps show what
the issue is...
