Copied from IRC:
```
<DigitalMan> I'm running the terminal-abstraction branch now on cvs.synchro.net
<DigitalMan> I see the line counter /auto-pause isn't working right
<DigitalMan> e.g. there's a blank line before messages when new-scanning that's not normally there
<DigitalMan> here's what looks like on master: https://1drv.ms/i/s!ApZPvWcrEaRQgZHvOw6Z8IRccjFIgt8?e=F86G2A
<DigitalMan> Actually, that's the terminal-abstraction branch (has the blank line)
<DigitalMan> here's what it looks like from master: https://1drv.ms/i/s!ApZPvWcrEaRQgZHvPCb5kKfKI-T8oK4?e=2ZPWgb
<DigitalMan> another, different example: the xtrn->doors menu on master (vert.synchro.net) pauses before the title scrolls off: https://1drv.ms/i/s!ApZPvWcrEaRQgZHvPVt1Z2OBXxE-PIE?e=HmQBJk
<DigitalMan> but not on the terminal-abstraction branch: https://1drv.ms/i/s!ApZPvWcrEaRQgZHvPhOQGu_BBR2dmZ0?e=aa8JvD
<DigitalMan> while in getstr insert mode (e.g. hitting Ctrl-V while being prompted for an email subject) and then hitting Ctrl-U or Ctrl-T (anything that save/restoresline) the prompt disappears
<DigitalMan> (this one I observed and reported before and I thought you'd fixed)
<DigitalMan> there's extra hit-a-key pauses before screen-clears when view general text files
<DigitalMan> that's probably enough for now, but pretty easy to see the differences by comparing vert and cvs right now
