This is particula= rly troublesome when called in a non-terminal session e.g. from cron(8), as it = will then default to 79 characters. It could be argued that unless the output is a terminal, it should not make= any assumptions about or adaptations to terminal size at all. For example, w|he= ad should not truncate. However, changing this behaviour might be a violation = of the POLA. Truncating output prior to passing to libxo shoul, however, probably be considered a bug. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
