With putty, try the Home key instead. If you hold that, the result will 
look even worse. Or try to hold the Down key at the end (of man bash) – 
not good either.
Slightly different effects in different environments are simply the 
result of timing. You cannot completely avoid such effects if the window 
contents is rewritten repeatedly.
