I have found that if it's related to your TERM variable (and thereby
terminal control) being set wrong, on my systems with job control, I stall
lynx with ^Z, correct the TERM variable and issue "reset", then reawaken
lynx.
(known working on: Linux revs RedHat 4.2 & SuSE 5.x)
Hope that helps; if it does, either fix your login script to set your
TERM more intelligently, or to give you a personal motd reminding you to
set it. If you only use lynx from one station, but typically login from
several different termtypes, make a script or alias to wrap around your
lynx run that sets the TERM for that session only.
For awhile I had a problem with other programs that were sometimes mangling
my terminal behavior; I was pleasantly surprised when lynx honored my reset
(I had expect to find myself "blind" or have to kill it, but I habitually
close down apps in the most normal method left to them.) You might have to
force a redraw, but maybe not, especially as following a link will redraw
anyway.
