in psql in Ubuntu, when beginning with a smaller terminal, eg, 80
col wide, then moving to a larger terminal, eg, 132 col wide, the
readline(?) editor in psql still treats like 80 cols, making it
impossible to edit longer text.
As far as I know (as this is the behavior in debian stable)
the ubuntu people use libgettext and not libreadline.
You can force it to use libreadline by using LD_PRELOAD. I reccomend
that you do I did this by editing /usr/bin/psql which is a perl script
In any case linux doesn't propogate SIG_WINCH to the other processes
that are using the pty so even if you are using readline you have to
force this by resizing the window again after exiting the pager, and
then press ctrl-l to clear the screen.
It'd be nice if `less` would kill(SIGWINCH) its ppid since it is so
often invoked as a helper. I guess they probably have good reasons not to.
