Text scrolls like in Star Wars from bottom to top instead of flashing on a single line. #13

Hello,

I use Fedora 18 (tried it both with xterm and lilyterm). Instead of flashing the text on a single line like in your demo, the text scrolls from the bottom to the top. I tried it in Ubuntu 12.04 and it worked OK.

Is there a way to fix this?

I would assume your terminal window isn't big enough to fit the whole output on one line (the xxxWPM should be on the same line as the current word).

If you can't/don't want to change the size of your terminal you can adjust the $ORPvisualpos and $cursorpos variables. These will change the position of the ORP (the red v) and the position of the displayed wpm respectively.

It is the size of the screen, probably, because I use OLPC, which runs Fedora 18. I decreased the font size and it worked as expected. Decreasing the value of the "$cursorpos" variable made it work also with the bigger font. Thanks!
