Re: [cxterm-devel] change screen rows (25) in cygwin

[Hin-Tak L. <hin...@ya...>]

That seems to a a genuine bug - or rather, a "feature";
I think the idea is that CXTerm doesn't want
daugter applications to know about the extra
input area at the bottom, so it does some screwy thing
with the columns, rows and doesn't quite pass along how
big the screen is.

Lynx has this problem, but vi does see the resize on
my system (slackware 8.1).

Hmm, I don't use CXterm under Cygwin anymore,
but I don't think it had problem resizing even then.
What version of cygwin are you using? ("uname -a").
