question, and I agree with you in fixing this in st, others don't (with
good reasons on both sides). Especially in the context of dwm I'm often
annoyed when the text is cut off. To keep things simple, a project
called scroll[0] was started to provide a scrollback buffer and
line-retainment in st. Try it out, it might suit your needs!

With best regards

I just successfully built scroll and it seems to do the same thing that GNU screen and other multiplexers do, which is wrap lines when the terminal window is cut in dwm. This isn't quite what I personally would want; I would prefer if the lines didn't wrap, but just the information that is cut out is redrawn when the window size is expanded. Kindof like how `less -S` works. But this will require some tinkering on my part, I think :)
