Hi Marc!
Thank you for your reply.
I simple can't find the source of the problem.
I am on FreeBSD BTW.
Just to point out, I currently use i3 and I call urxvtc directly. I used
to call "i3-sensible-terminal" but I didn't see any difference.
Just for reference purpose, while on Gentoo/Linux I was using
KDE+Yakuake.

I am attaching my whole .cshrc.
While the prompt configuration is relativelly complex it was not when I
started using urxvt.

Please, take a look on this to see if it is relevant.

However, it is a more or less recent issue after I started using
ncmpcpp.

This is interesting. I had not set geometry but after setting it the
problem seem to happen very less often.
Another thing, while I was testing lemonbar today, with the i3bar still
running, everytime lemonbar appear the terminal the windows got smaller (as
expected), and
it mess with everything in the terminal.
I currently am moving to bspwm. Eventually, if I am lucky, I do not have this
problem in
there. Who knows? :)
Many thanks!
Best Regards.
