I am currently 'integrating' my daily VPA reports within NEWS,and when
'scanning' through a performance report I got the following wrong
behaviour : 1) Use news command 'bottom' to view end of article
2) Start scrolling back within the article using 'prev screen'
key on keyboard.
After 29 times having pressed 'prev screen' news suddenly and
erroneously reports 'Top of display' while not being at all near the
beginning of the article.
The accompanying line/percentage message states : "... 3982/4464 lines (86%)"
(Note that when viewing the article initially being at real Top of
display this info equals :"...16/ 4451 lines (0%)")
News really thinks he's at Top of display since using the up arrow or
any other 'Up going command' results in a flashing 'Top of Display' line...
Note in this case the noted 'article' is over 4000 lines long.
I am on V5.8A and VMS V5.1-1,
