Description

There have been several reports in gnu.bash.bug and Debian which seem to point to a configuration issue with bash rather than the terminal emulator (a variable that you must set to have SIGWINCH handled as expected). Unfortunately I can't reproduce the problem, I've tried xsm, gnome, kde, xfce on several machines. Is the COLUMNS variable set correctly before resize command? Is checkwinsize option enabled in bash ("shopt checkwinsize" prints the current setting)? Apologies, I did not realize I was only having the problem with my bash command-lines and not other programs... you were right and checkwinsize was not set by default. After setting it, the problem is not apparent with new X sessions. How odd that it only affects the initial detection of the window size, as resize events were already being handled. I see the bug references "xterm-255", and am assuming that is really "xterm-225". In patch #226 I made an improvement which might be related to the initial detection of the window size (see the changelog for handshake and waitForMap). It would be interesting to revisit this after #226 is packaged. Ok, xterm-226-1.fc6 has been pushed to update testing. Can you please try it and see if it makes any difference? btw, I have fixes already for #227 - see ftp://invisible-island.net/temp/xterm-226b.patch.gz They're not in this area. I don't have a FC6 machine to test this on. I have not seen the problem on my F7 or F8 machines, but I now have checkwinsize enabled in my bash profile... Thanks. Assuming this was fixed in xterm-226, please reopen if the problem occurs again. |
