When I log into a virtual console as ordinary user, I initially have a prompt & cursor. After I print 24 lines or more, the last visible (24th) line will be data instead of the prompt & cursor. The up arrow no longer gives the previous commands. A clear command will restore the prompt & cursor.
This bug first appeared after I installed CentOS5. I do not believe it is a CentOS5 bug however because when I boot Ubuntu from a LivePC CDROM, the same thing happens.
Any comments/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance - Bob T.

Use the "size/position" controls of your monitor to shrink and reposition the displayed image (or your monitor may have an auto-adjust feature which can be invoked). My guess is that the 25th line is being displayed, with prompt and cursor etc, but is off the bottom of visible screen area.

Craig: Thanks for suggestion. I have a Samsung SyncMaster 171v flat screen monitor. It does not have the "old fashion" controls, but does have an "auto adjust" which did the trick. Bob T.
