Description of problem: bash/readline not detecting window resize properly Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): bash 3.2-24 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. set terminal window width to about 106 2. type long line vi /dcfdfdfd/fdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfddffdtr4trt/g.java so there may spaces between vi and file name such that the line wrapes. 3. Press enter, vi will be started. 4. exit from vi. 5. press arrow up, so the long command will show up again. 6. move cursor and put few more spaces (10-15) between vi and filename. 7. Increase terminal width to about 120-130. You will see garbage on screen, like this: vi /dcfdfdfd/fdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfddffdt fdtr4trt/g.javaaa Actual results: vi /dcfdfdfd/fdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfddffdt fdtr4trt/g.javaaa Expected results: vi /dcfdfdfd/fdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfdfdfd/fdfdfddffdt fdtr4trt/g.java Additional info: Fixed in bash4.0/readline 6.0
