apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected precise
** Description changed: I have a DEC VT420 terminal connected to my Ubuntu system, set up for 'wide' (132 column) mode. Until recently, possibly although not definitely when I began testing Precise, running getty with the vt100-w profile ensured that when I logged in, applications such as top, nano or weechat would use all 132 columns. Now, though, everything is squashed into 80 columns even with all the same settings (on the VT420 and Ubuntu machine). When I log in on the terminal and type $ echo $TERM I get the expected 'vt100-w'. However: $ tput cols results in '80' and sure enough, only the first 80 columns of the screen are filled. I strongly doubt this is a problem with the terminal as all its settings were 'known good' and I have checked and double-checked them for correctness. Admittedly, I can work around this by issuing $ stty 132 - and then everything works as expected. However, I am curious as to why - none of the 'wide' terminfos are working any more and believe there may - be a bug here somewhere. + and then everything works as expected.
