After a resize the pager jumps to the top. Is that a setting?

Help
The rules of the place and the commands that get you around it.
Rules and first steps
chronoskin chat is a small server for people who use and build chronoskin. It speaks a plain line protocol, so any client works; this page is one of them.
Three rules
- Be kind. Disagree with the idea, not with the person.
- Paste text, not pictures of text. Long pastes go to a file.
- Ask your question at once; do not ask whether you may ask.
Getting around
Everything is a command typed into the input line at the foot. A command starts with a slash: /join #help opens a channel, /part leaves it.
Windows
Each channel is a window with a number. The window list above the input line shows them, and the one you are reading is cut out of the bar.
Mentions
A line that names you is set on a stronger ground with a mark at its left edge, and its window gets a count.
