I have observed this behaviour in Jove too. [Lines appearing blank on
the display] I have not managed to identify any particular pattern to
what causes it, but it is purely a display problem.  If you move to the
apparently blank line and then press END (or ^E) the cursor inded moves
to the appropriate part of the screen.  My usual technique to work
round this bug is to do a succession of insert and delete characters,
and then move the offending line off the screen and back on to the
screenm.  This usually causes it to become visible.  I have seen the
line suddenly blank when I have deleted or inserted a character, but I
can't reproduce the behaviour.
