Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I ran 'querybts' in an xterm and resized the xterm while querybts was running.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
1. Resize the terminal to 80x25.
2. Run 'querybts 808808'.
3. Maximize the terminal window. [This can be done during or after the
next step, too, but must be done after typing <Enter> at the end of
the previous step.]
4. Type <q><e><Enter> to close 'less' and open 'mutt'.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Mutt only used the top-left 80x25 cells of the terminal.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Mutt using the full size of the maximized terminal.
*
The root of the problem is that the $LINES and $COLUMNS environment variables
have outdated values after the resize. Having a SIGWINCH handler that either
unsets those two variables or updates their values fixes the issue. Patches
to do both are attached.
(The patches are mutually exclusive.)
Cheers,
Daniel
P.S. Full disclosure: The code in the putenv() patch is based on Apache
Licensed code from [1]. I assume that is okay.
