That's right. A solution could be, to throw away all the additional
line-up/line-down codes in the keybuffer while the screen is not
updated. Or limit their number to (for instance) 20% of the lines on
the screen. Such a buffer is nice to prevent data-loss, especially
for quick typists. But for navigation people need to see what happens
on the screen. Buffering too many keycodes could worse the handling
in such situations, instead of improving it IMHO.
