Screen-artefacts on the console after paging with Shift-PgUp/PgDn. Did you see this with UEFI? If yes, please open a PR. If no, I guess I'll try to setup an UEFI machine to test. It turned out the work machine I misremembered to boot in UEFI mode only uses GPT but with MBR. Anyway, the effect I see is not erasing / overwriting the ends of lines properly after or when scrolling back and forth again; this smells like an optimization that implicitly assumes only ever writing downwards. Should be easily (ha!) to spot by staring at the code. -is
