Re: terminal getting garbled running 'emacs -nw'

[dhruva]

I suspect the problem happens when the cursor moves to the modeline. When you do the page-up and page-down, at some point you will notice the cursor on the mode line. After that, you will see the minibuffer height increase and the garbling starts.

To me, it appears like the count of lines/rows in the frame during the scrolling is off by 1. This has a domino effect on subsequent page up and down and ends up messing the modeline and the menubar.

Well, this is just a hypothesis based on observation.

I agree. Once you reproduce the problem with the first approach, the second flow reproduces it again. I am suspecting if we are somehow corrupting the tty.

I am happy that you could reproduce it. Give me some pointers and I will debug. By the way, it has been a long (almost 5 years) since I started following emacs-devel closely.

Nice to see the same familiar hackers hacking away on emacs.

This doesn't reproduce the problem for me (your previous recipe did).
