Hi, Bash will miss terminal resize events in the following scenario:
* Open a terminal (I tested with xterm and gnome-terminal) * Run vim * Resize the terminal * Background vim using Ctrl-Z At the point SIGWINCH will have been delivered to vim, but not to bash. Bash is in the read part of the read-eval loop, but it still thinks the terminal has the original dimensions. This causes readline to wrap input incorrectly. You can also see this by GDB attaching to the bash process and examining the value of _rl_screenwidth, which will be the old screen width. If you manually SIGWINCH bash, then readline will re-query the terminal dimensions and input will wrap correctly. Note that this problem isn't specific to vim. I think that bash should re-query the terminal size every time it returns from handling a job. As I understand, the overhead is making a single TIOCGSIZE ioctl, which is minuscule, especially considering it only has to be done once per line of input. -- evan klitzke w: https://eklitzke.org/ e: e...@eklitzke.org
