I can't speak for pine, and I stand to be corrected on lynx the cat,
but this is a lynx feature which has been there since I remember, well
before even speakup 1.0, let alone the newer versions.

This is a speakup issue, which seems to be taken care of if you have
cursoring turned on. If that doesn't solve it, then setting window
coordinates for that line, and turning on read window should probably
take care of it. Personally, I've become so used to the old speakup
behavior in these type of arrowing through menus situations, that I
just find it easier to turn off cursoring completely, and listen to it
the way you've described it.

I haven't seen that with a bns using hardware handshaking, but I have
seen repeated behavior where after reading a screen full or 2, speakup
displays something like "bns time out" on the screen, and I have to
use print screen to get speech back. My solution is to leave the bns
in its default of software handshaking, which still does cause me to
miss a line or 2 at the bottom of the screen while reading the full
screen, but that's better in my opinion than having to hit prtscr all
the time.
