New submission from Carlos Pita: See here:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/6974 Chet Ramey confirmed the bug is downstream: As I recall from looking briefly at the ipython/python source code, it has to do with python not handling the SIGWINCH and expecting readline to do it even when readline is not active. In readline-6.3, readline only installs its signal handlers when rl_callback_read_char is called, which python does only when it receives a character and its select(2) call returns. The way readline-6.2 and earlier did things, it could `steal' signals from an application without being active. I think python doesn't handle SIGWINCH at all, which means that it expects readline's signal handler to be active all the time, instead of just when python calls back into readline to have it read a character. A possible fix would be to have python's readline module install a signal handler for SIGWINCH and have it set readline's idea of the screen size. ---------- messages: 238857 nosy: Carlos Pita priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Readline not adjusting width after resize with 6.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue23735> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
