This is a pretty interesting bug!

`Terminal too small` should only render if the terminal window is smaller than 80x40 characters (see here). It sounds like, for some reason, your terminal emulator thinks it is that size following a key press event.

What terminal emulator are you using with Lubuntu? I haven't tried too many, but eqalert works as expected when using the `terminator` terminal emulator.

Does this issue persist if you run the parser in docker or does ~/.eqa/log/eqalert.log show any errors?

If this is a persistent compatibility issue between ncurses and a prominent terminal emulator, I will probably re-prioritize writing a GUI (which is 99% of the windows compatibility issue as windows really doesn't work well with ncurses either).
