You can try a development build, or use `tput lines` to work around it.

[Fish-users] Meaning of message when exiting fish-shell with background jobs running
If I start a program in the background mode (like ./prog ) and exit the shell (Ctrl+D), I see the following message: There are stopped jobs. A second attempt to exit will enforce their termination. If I exit again, immediately, it'll quit the shell. However, the above message made me think that my background job will be terminated as well! However, using 'ps' o/p I could verify that the program was running even after exit and was re-parented to init (?), I think. Why do we show that message and what does it really mean? I mean the background job is _still_ running, then why the message? Or am I missing something obvious? thanks, -mandeep -- LIMITED TIME SALE - Full Year of Microsoft Training For Just $49.99! 1,500+ hours of tutorials including VisualStudio 2012, Windows 8, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, MVC 4, more.
