Control: tag -1 - patch Control severity -1 wishlist Thanks for the bug report. This is the intended/expected behaviour. However, if you would like to submit a revised patch making this a configurable option, I'd be happy to run it by upstream then. Please see the log below, reproduced with permission:
17:48 < ryanakca> Any thoughts on https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=821366 ? I'm unable to reproduce it. 17:49 < schmorp> . 17:49 < ryanakca> (In particular, the patch it links to) 17:50 < schmorp> can't make sense of the description, but *likely* this refers to urxvt's behaviour before and after scorlling the first time 17:51 < schmorp> rewrapping is only done when there is scrollback data 17:51 < schmorp> so this likely is simply works as designed 17:51 < schmorp> but i don't understand exactly what the problem is, or what the patch is trying to do 17:52 < ryanakca> Oh, I managed to reproduce it when there's no scrollback data. Just a second, I'll get a screenshot. 17:54 < ryanakca> http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rkavanag/before.png http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~rkavanag/after.png 17:55 < schmorp> you resized in between, i assume? 17:55 < ryanakca> The point is that if, when you have no scrollback data, you make the window narrower, and then wider again, everything that was behind the narrowed bit disappears after widening 17:55 < schmorp> if you try with xterm, do you get different behaviour? if yes, what? 17:55 < schmorp> right, thats corretc behaviour 17:56 < ryanakca> Exactly the same behaviour with xterm 17:56 < schmorp> then itsd not considered a bug 17:56 < schmorp> making this some kind of ternary option would be an improvement in terms of features, though 17:57 < schmorp> the patch would break apps that don't cope with rewrapping, which is why this behaviour exists and which is why it should be the default even if it were configurable 17:57 < schmorp> workaround is also trivial 17:59 < ryanakca> OK. Do you have any interest in writing the patch yourself, or shall I ask the submitter to submit a patch making it a configurable option? 18:00 < ryanakca> Mind if I paste the above rationale to the bug report? 18:00 < schmorp> feel free 18:00 < ryanakca> Thanks.
