This is just a random guess, but it sounds like a curses problem. Does it do this on all consoles or just the current one? In other words, if you have a console which is jumbled, does the problem go away if you switch to a different console? Also, what if you press ^L to redraw the screen? There is a command included with curses just for this problem. Next time, try the following: reset If that doesn't seem to help, try this: clear reset clear The first "clear" command is probably unnecessary, but it will clear your screen. Obviously you need to run this from a shell. I find that ^L usually works just as well and is quicker.
