When scrolling through a file opened in nano, I notice that the screen

keys results in the first 40 or so columns containing the proper text,
but the rest still contain what was on the screen before I scrolled
down. This occurrs inside X using aterm as my terminal, as well as
after killing X and logging in at the command line. I haven't tried
nano via ssh, so I don't know how it would respond.
This has been a small problem for me ever since installing FC4. FC3
was fine in this regard. I ran yum update a few nights ago, and am
still seeing the problem.
Is this an issue with nano itself? Does it have something to do with
a drawing library somewhere? Does anyone know what I can do to fix
it? A Google search didn't result in anything useful. Thanks in
advance for any help.
This problem is a bit old. Apparently there is some problem that
nano has with the gnome terminal. I personally use jpico (part of joes
editor) as a replacement. there are other options. you may want to
check the archives, or at least look at this:

James W. has some good advice for work-arounds.
