Is that for files with the same name but different path?

This is, most probably, a bug (or limitation) in gdb. The problem is, 
most probably, in the way the code is compiled. If the compiler was 
called like this:

gcc ... select.c ...

For both sources, and from different directories, then the debug 
information says "select.c" and nothing else.
Having two files with the same name in a project is a very bad idea.
Note that gdb will inform to setedit "we reached line nnn of select.c".

This isn't a bug in the editor but in some frame buffer implementations. 
The editor doesn't even know you are using frame buffer, it just moves 
the cursor and draw like when using a regular Linux terminal. The frame 
buffer should ensure that old cursor drwings are removed before drawing 
it again. Most frame buffer implementations have bugs and limitations in 
the cursor handling. Last time I checked only a few of them implement 
the code to change the cursor size ... Some implementations have very 
odd bugs, I remmember one that failed to set up the font when you 
changed the resolution "on the fly".
I know that this particular bug (cursor trace) isn't triggered by other 
applications, but the editor can't be blamed.

Is ok.
