Description
When nxterm window is moved the characters already in nxterm are lost. It needs a reprint of all characters already displayed?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in nxterm and trace the window-move and redraw paths in the C sources. Check how existing character content is stored and repainted after movement; done means moving the window no longer makes previously displayed characters disappear.
