This bug would cause the split-screen separator to repeat when the local
side scrolled (if the terminal was 24 rows, bug didn't happen when local
screen was 25 rows).

This bug appears to have "always" been there. The split-screen separator is
80 columns, so that forced a line wrap on the subsequent CRLF and the local_y
value was "off-by-one". Just use ansi_gotoxy() instead and put the cursor
where you think it is.

Also, support > 24 row terminals for longer chat history (bottom half only).
