I do think that is the problem, indeed. But I also thought that your proposal was to hook the width update at some place you know rl will always return quickly, thus releasing the user from the need to explicitly request this refresh. If that's not the case, sorry for the confusion. Also, if that's not the case, could something similar be achieved without very complex changes? In any other case, I return to my initial proposal. _______________________________________________ Bug-readline mailing list Bug-readline@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-readline
