Package: konsole
Version: 4:3.4.3-3
Severity: minor
Incorrect terminal width causing line wrap problems
Linux pingchan 2.6.13.2-k8.5 #1 Thu Nov 24 06:11:17 MST 2005 x86_64 GNU/Linux
When entering or pasting text into Konsole, it wraps onto the same line instead
of the line below. Also, actual terminal width does not match reported width.
Easy way to reproduce:
-open new Konsole window
-hold down 'a' for a while
This produces:
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa:~$ aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Instead of:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Note that the top example is 79 columns, while the bottom is 80. I believe the
problem is that while Konsole is reporting 80x25, it is only using 79 columns.
Resizing the window fixes the problem. The odd part is, choosing 80x25 in the
menu makes the actual window narrower and taller by 2 pixels instead of wider.
another related, but weirder, symptom:
-open new Konsole window
-press Enter 4-6 times
-hold down 'a' until bad wrapping occurs
-backspace to undo wrapping
-prompt should move up 2 lines, with partial line displayed below it
each time you cause a bad wrap, then undo it with backspace, the prompt should
move up another 2 lines
Konsole 4:3.5.0-4 has an additional fix:
-if you press backspace with an empty command line, it fixes itself. 3.4.3 does
NOT do this.

this is most likely due to a bad $PROMPT.
eg, if you use escape sequences to display colour, you *HAVE* to use
escapes to that the terminal ignores them to calculate the length of
your current line. please read your shell man page about that issue.
