Usually, this works well. A couple of days ago, though -- after updating xterm to xterm-227 -- I noticed that vi(1) was behaving strangely. In particular, when I created an xterm that was other than 80x24 and proceeded to try to edit a file with long lines, vi would act as if the window were only 80 characters wide ... until I re-sized the window to some other size. (Resizing back to the original size I used still allowed it to work.) Basically, xterm seems to be acting as if the initial size it reports to applications is 80x24 until a resize operation takes place, at which point the proper size is used -- regardless of the original dimensions of the window. This differs from the behavior I've seen & expected for some 15 years. Is anyone else seeing this? Anyone have a fix or circumvention, or should I file a PR? (I'm not subscribed to -x11@, so I've set Reply-To to a suggested set of addresses.) Thanks! Peace, david --=20 David H.
