Hmm, the OS/2 implementation of KA9Q has a similar problem. The hashes
only stop appearing when the last line on a window is being written.
Neither Gordon Beck or I ever fixed this, but I don't suppose we put a
huge amount of effort into it.
For the OS/2 version, pressing a key (e.g. space) while the offending
window has the focus causes all of the "stored" hashes to be written to
the window. I've just got used to pressing space every now and again :-)
