For my basic thoughts on horizontal scrollbar see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=769440. In addition: your model/view idea is a nice one and is implementable, but some apps will sure seem to be quite broken or at least behave in ways it's hard to justify. E.g. you press the Up arrow and expect the cursor to go up, whereas actually it goes to the left by 80 columns (because it moved up in the model, but it's flattened to the same row in the view). > If urxvt can wrap text in so little code, wrapping can't be that hard. urxvt only rewraps on resize if you've already reached a screenful of text -- I have absolutely no idea what could have been the rationale behind that. In urxvt if you switch to the alternate screen (e.g. vim, mc), resize and then quit, the contents will not be properly rewrapped. Gnome Terminal (VTE) gets this right. I'm afraid there might easily be other issues with urxvt's rewrapping. I haven't tested it any further than these, I'm just assuming this based on seeing how complex it was to get it right, and seeing the just-mentioned problems with urxvt as well as the ones I've mentioned earlier with terminology. The amount of code and the complexity are not strongly correlated. In VTE I implemented rewrapping with a reasonably small(ish) amount of code, but trying to get all the details right it was one of the most complicated ones I've ever written in my life. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
