Description:
Question already sent by [email protected] in Dec 2007, but got no
response:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2007-12/msg00070.html
Repeat-By:
1. Open an xterm
2. run vi
3. resize the xterm window
4. quit vi
5. write some long text on the prompt
You will see that the text is not wrapped correctly. It overlaps the
prompt.
Fix:
Make it the default?
Debian have this in /etc/bash.bashrc :
# check the window size after each command and, if necessary,
# update the values of LINES and COLUMNS.
shopt -s checkwinsize
I think it should be the default.
