Title:
vt100-w no longer displays in 132 columns on DEC VT420 terminal
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I have a DEC VT420 terminal connected to my Ubuntu system, set up for
'wide' (132 column) mode. Until recently, possibly although not
definitely when I began testing Precise, running getty with the
vt100-w profile ensured that when I logged in, applications such as
top, nano or weechat would use all 132 columns. Now, though,
everything is squashed into 80 columns even with all the same settings
(on the VT420 and Ubuntu machine).
When I log in on the terminal and type
$ echo $TERM
I get the expected 'vt100-w'. However:
$ tput cols
results in '80' and sure enough, only the first 80 columns of the
screen are filled.
I strongly doubt this is a problem with the terminal as all its
settings were 'known good' and I have checked and double-checked them
for correctness.
Admittedly, I can work around this by issuing
$ stty 132
and then everything works as expected. However, I am curious as to why none
of the 'wide' terminfos are working any more and believe there may be a bug
here somewhere.
