As far as I can see this problem depends on the curses library and
your use of colors. I just tried the following combinations:
slang without any color settings -> no problems
slang with color settings (background set to black) -> your problem
ncurses with or without color settings -> everything is okay
The center of the problem seems to be that slang fills all lines to
colorize the complete line. And these fill characters are then
copied...
I suggest using ncurses instead of slang and you will have no problems.
