That's not really the problem. If you disable scrolling, you also turn on
  vt100 emulation - you can't have both at once (like xterm), only one of
  the two. So when you say "Scrolling stuffs up tip because if I turn
  scrolling off it works" you are really saying "It works when I turn vt100
  emulation on", which is what one would expect.
Me, I'm waiting for a version of cmdtool that supports both at the same time
  (ala xterm). In the meantime, I'll rely on xterm - cmdtool has too many
  other quirks.
