I am forwarding the following bug description submitted by
George_VanAusdall@ATT.Com:

Emacs 18.55 on a Teletype 730 terminal (a terminal with a vt100-style
scrolling region) exhibits the following behavior:

After doing  C-x 2  to create a second window, if  C-n  is typed while
the cursor is in the bottom line of the top window, Emacs sometimes uses
the scrolling region to scroll just the top window, and other times
scrolls the whole screen up and then scrolls the bottom window back down
(it also sometimes just redraws the text in the top window -- I'm
ignoring these cases).  In all cases, the screen ends up correct, but
the "jumping" of the bottom window is visually annoying.

The difference appears to be whether or not echoed keystrokes are
displayed at the bottom of the screen before typing the  C-n  command.
If the echo line is clear, then Emacs scrolls just the top window.  If
there are characters on the echo line (which Emacs wants to erase), then
Emacs scrolls the whole screen, causing the bottom window to jump up and
down.
