>Number: 1074 >Category: bin >Synopsis: tty rows & columns settings sometimes reset to zero >Confidential: no >Severity: non-critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Sat Mar 9 18:40:00 PST 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Heikki Suonsivu >Organization: Clinet, Espoo, Finland >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT i386 >Environment: Various versions of -current from several past months (may be for the duration of existence of FreeBSD 2). >Description: tty rows and columns settings are reported to be zeroed sometimes. the programs under which this is seen may be emacs, elm, or tin. I haven't seen this personally, but according to one of our users it happens sometimes. It also seems that it never happens twice during same connection, if the values are manually set to correct values they stick. >How-To-Repeat: A user says it happens when reading mail, or using tin to read news. Usually this involves editing something and then going back to tin/elm and when trying to edit the next mail the values have been reset. >Fix: Could this be something in curses library? tin and elm probably both use curses. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
