If you expand the window to full screen after launhing and the fill the line the text wraps to the following line as expected Expand the window to full screen then revert to normal size before you type anything and again it works as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-terminal-2.13.90-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1see description Actual Results: see description Expected Results: Text to wrap to the following line without having to first maximize and then minimize the window. Additional info:
This is a bash issue. It occurs only on a newly opened terminal windows or with a fresh bash instance. Different proofs: 1. Start xterm and hold down a key => same behaviour like in gnome-terminal. 2. Start gnome-terminal. 2.1 Type in a random command and hit enter. Then hold down a key => wrapping occurs like expected. 2.2 Run /bin/bash inside this window and hold down a key => no wrapping. 2.3 Run /bin/zsh inside this window and hold down a key => wraps correctly.
Fixed with the latest bash update. Closing as resolved in rawhide.
