Description Miroslav Lichvar 2017-03-16 12:35:46 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1420245 +++

Description of problem:
I've written snack-based application to be run on RHEL6 server using Python Snack library. Now I've get claims from our testers that application doesn't handle screen resize. I've check newt source code and found it's assumed to send NEWT_KEY_RESIZE (0x8000 + 113) to application on window resize. But it doesn't happen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.52.11

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Gnome Terminal.
2. Connect using ssh to RHEL6 server.
3. Run attached win.py on server.
4. Resize terminal window.

Actual results:
Nothing happens.

Expected results:
Script exits with 'WINCH' printed.

Additional info:
I've tried to reproduce this problem using Gnome Terminal 3.22.0 and by default my TERM set to `xterm-256color`. Our testers use PuTTY with TERM set to `xterm`.
