GNU nano and visudo strange display behavior


I am running Gentoo Linux 3.17.7 x86_64. After the install I noticed some strange behavior from nano and visudo when opening a file. This occurs in mate desktop environment as wall as the standard console before starting X. When I open a file nano scrolls text on screen making it impossible to view a file. Ocassionally the output will stop showing the reguarly file but when I attempt to enter a command or type the display starts scrolling text again. Some of the output looks like:

Code:
