Hello, and thanks for your bug report.
Unfortunately, I do not believe this is a bug. AFAIK, every terminal
will do this. Xterm does not keep around in memory what line a character
originally belonged to; only what line it now belongs to. It can remap
what line a character belongs to when you're shrinking the terminal's
width; but when you enlarge it, it doesn't know which characters were
part of which lines. So, shrinking a terminal's width is always an
information-destructive act.
Perhaps you can think of a way to solve this, and can convince the x.org
programmers (and the developers of all the other graphical terminal
emulators) on how to improve on that. If so, please discuss with them
and keep this report up-to-date on the progress. Otherwise, please close
this bug out.
