It would seem to me that this is doing exactly as per design
That is on the last character to fill the window, the window is
scrolled.  There being only one line the window is cleared.
Or did you expect to see a line of a's completely filling
the window?

BTW were both methods supposed to give the same result?

On my machine - phoenix bios 3.10, dos 3.3, turbo 5.5
there was no discernible difference!
