[gentoo-user] why resizing newsboat's terminal won't show more text?

2021-04-28 Thread caveman رَجُلُ الْكَهْفِ 穴居人 
hi.  when i open newsboat in a small window, it
fills it with text, and eats the remaining text
as expected (so that there is a single news item
per line.  fine).

but:
1. on arch linux's package, when i enlarge the
window, more text automatically shows.  nice.

2. on gentoo linux's installation, when i do
the same as arch's, text is still eaten, so i
end up manually redrawing the terminal.

any idea how should i move from here to figure out
what's the cause?

(more info in appendix below)

Are you using the same terminal in both OS?  I have found terminals use 
different mechanisms to flow/redraw lines, as long as the application output 
allows it, with urxvt being better in this respect than xterm.  However, I've 
not used newsboat to have observed how it behaves within urxvt.
