Looks like rxvt bug. Did you try xterm instead? -----Original Message----- From: Jason Tiller [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 9:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: 'less' can't determine terminal size?
Hi, Again, Sergei, :) On Tue, 19 Nov 2002, Sergei Okhapkin wrote: > What is the output of "stty -a" inside rxvt window? In my fiddling, I tried adding '-geometry "80x25"' to my rxvt invocation just to see what would happen. Strangest thing - my window size was *26* lines. When I set -geometry to "80x24", rxvt opened up a *25* line window. Any idea why this might be happening? In all cases, if I manually resize the window, this seems to "sync" things up and everything's kosher after that.
