TYPE/PAGE=SAVE on SSH doesn't erase bits of text when paging through a file

[Volker Halle]

Ben,

yes - I can reproduce this, although not 100% reliably, a couple of retries may be needed:

I login with putty (TELNET) to a PersonalAlpha running OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 TCPIP V5.6 ECO 5. Terminal window size set to 142x44, then SET TERM/INQ. Then SSH to the same node.

$ TYPE/PAGE SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$STARTUP.COM

press <return> to advance to 2nd page of file

press <page up>

press <page down>

Then I sometimes see what you seem to be seeing. See attached screen shot.

CTRL-W correctly repaints the screen.

Also reproduced when logging in with PowerTerm instead of Putty.

Time to log a call against TCPIP SSH ? Looks like some data might be getting lost via the SSH connection.

Volker.
