Not sure. Are you setting
the background colour to LIGHTGRAY or BG_LIGHTGRAY?
Is the ANSI content being loa
ded before or after the scrollbar is opened /
cycled for the first time?

The ScrollBar doesn't actually redraw itself when you call .cycle()
on it; it
just updates its position info. The drawing takes place when .cycle()
is
called on the parent Frame. You could try calling .cycle() on the ScrollBar
a
fter you have called Frame.scrollTo() but prior to calling Frame.cycle().
(That m
ay or may not help, but it's worth a shot.)

Probably just differences in the way you're using it and the way
I expected to
use it. In my input loops, I usually use console.inkey rather than
c
onsole.getkey, and call [whatever].cycle() each time through the loop. This
way,
stuff gets updated as needed whether the user has pressed a key or not.
(Useful
if you want to update stuff in the terminal while the user is idling,
etc.)
