[Tfug] Annoying Terminal Problem

[Andrew Ayre]

Frequently when using programs like nano and aptitude, when the program 
exits the prompt is not at the bottom of the terminal window. Instead it 
appears at a random position, e.g. in the middle of the terminal window.

What I type next is hard to see amongst the clutter of previous prompts 
and commands, and I end up hitting enter multiple times to get the 
prompt back to the bottom.

I've seen this with Suse, Gentoo, Debian...

Does anyone know of a solution to this irritant? Is it my terminal 
program (puTTY)?

Andy
