Comment (by nicop):
Thanks to you for this changeset, this is a much cleaner solution. I
thought about moving gotkey label too but I wasn't sure about the
implications, as this would restart the ImapKeepalive loop, so I went for
the safer fix.
Also, it seems that mutt_getch is already waiting for a key other than
KEY_RESIZE, which is supposed to be sent when the terminal is resized.
However, mutt overrides the ncurse SigWinch signal handling with his own
in ''signal.c''. Disabling this does solve the problem, so maybe we could
temporary disable it during the call to getch?
Otherwise, this ''while (ch == KEY_RESIZE)'' loop seems useless. Also, in
this specific case, it may also delay the imap synchronization as each
getch would reset the timeout, so it might need to be removed at least
when compiled with --enable-imap.
This is just some thought I had when investigating this problem that I
wanted to share. I hope it may be useful.
