Hi, Well, that was interesting. Pressing M-y as you suggest helped slightly, but it still repeated the first line of text when I pressed Enter. Using TERM=dumb gave an error that it can't open terminal dumb. Using TERM=vt100 made no obvious difference. I think you're at least partially onto something though as M-y did help, but it's still redrawing at least the first line of entered text when I press Enter to go to the next line. Also, all of my servers are running bash, so it isn't a shell issue. The only thing I changed was Nano from 2.2.6 to 2.4.0 without changing the Curses libraries.
