I've looked a little (but not enough yet) at the code where these two
cases are handled, and I did wonder once or twice: is there a reason
the case with no scrollback has to behave differently, or was the
re-wrap code just never adapted to handle that case? If I have more
time, I'll take another look at the code, especially if it's the
latter.
