This description is quite fuzzy. It could be that you resized the window 
while a program was running, or that some background process sends 
output to the screen asynchronously. In such cases, the shell loses 
track of the cursor position and line editing fails. That's not a 
terminal issue.

This was requested to mintty already 
(https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/82) but it's not a traditional 
terminal feature, so if some terminals have added it as an enhancement, 
that's not a "fix".
