[SOLVED] Virtual terminal has more then 25 lines o_O

I found that when i switch to virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F2, for instance) and execute command, output of which has more than 25 lines, my cursor disappears below visible area of screen. In other words: there is 25 lines visible on a screen, but in fact there is 27 lines. What should i do? Thx

Problem is solved!
Devil was in size of CONSOLEFONT (/etc/rc.conf) I've changed it from cyr_a8x14 to cyr_a8x16.

You can use Ctrl+S and do Shift+Pg Up and then Ctrl+Q when you're done reading.

Okaaay
But I still do not understand why changing of font size changes number of lines. A kind of weird.
