Package: xterm
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When the xterm window is resized when the less (or other similar)
program runs, after exiting the cursor is located at wrong place.
How to reproduce:
1. Start an xterm window with bash shell
2. Type command: "echo columns=$COLUMNS, lines=$LINES"
3. The response will be: "columns=80, lines=24" (see the attached
xterm-resize-step1.png)
4. Fill the xterm window with some lines: "for i in $(seq 4 100); do
echo $i; done" (see the attached xterm-resize-step2.png)
5. Run the command "less -f /dev/null"
6. Now resize the xterm window from 24 lines to 34 lines
7. Press "q" to exit less
Current result:
The cursor is located at row instead of the number "92" (see the
attached xterm-resize-step3.png)
Expected result:
The cursor is located below the "$ less -f /dev/null" line.
