Re: [PATCHES] Proposed patch - psql wraps at window width

So there is one more clause in the wrapping if. Was it because of performance? I have a way to fix that by decrementing by more than one to shrink a column? I am attaching a new patch with my improved loop. It remembers the previous maximum ratio. No!  Performance was not the issue. The out just looked like a jumble onscreen when the line was word wrapped BUT did not fit on the screen anyway. To increase the number of layouts that fit, a co-worker suggested I squeeze out the 2 spaces in each column header.                                           -Bryce
