#82 Scrolling behaviour on window resize
Hi!
First off I would like to say that mlterm has really been a godsend on my search for an IME-supporting terminal. I tried so many terminals before and they all had some kind of issue with IME, only mlterm works flawlessly!
I noticed however that the behaviour when resizing mlterm is a bit unorthodox. When I have a very long log and resize xterm and mlterm they act differently:
xterm (3 lines high)
1 \
2 * content of log (invisible)
3 /
[4 ] \
[5 ] * current screen
[6 ] /
xterm (resize to 5 lines):
1
[2 ] \
[3 ] * line 2 and 3 become visible
[4 ]
[5 ]
[6 ]
mlterm:
1
2
3
[4 ]
[5 ]
[6 ]
mlterm (resize to 5 lines)
1
2 \
3 * line 2 and 3 are still invisible
[4 ]
[5 ]
[6 ]
[ ]
[ ]
Xterm automatically scrolls up, so that I can see as much of the log as possible, while the effect of resizing an mlterm window with bash running results in new empty lines, so that I have to scroll manually . This is especially cumbersome when switiching fast between two windows in a tiling window manager.
I am aware that this is an extremly minor issue, but it is quite noticeable in my workflow. Is this something that can potentially be fixed? I also had a look in the man pages, but did not find any flag that could change this.
Best regards,
Max

Yes! I can confirm the behaviour is exactly like xterm now.
Thank you so much! I can use mlterm as my everyday terminal now! :)
