Yes, INFO_LINES=25.

They appear during Info runs.

I think they were overwitten by the Info display. 
But the same letters apper in the same screen.
I mean if 'z' appears in a window, when I switch to another window, other letters appear.
Switch back, 'z' appears at the same position.
It seems to me that the output buffer did not be cleaned completely.
