Re: [Bug 680340] [NEW] Rewrap lines when resizing the terminal

I disagree with it too -- especially since I now see that
brainstorm.ubuntu.org is where ideas go to die.

Is it appropriate to reopen it, or would that be considered rude?

[Bug 680340] [NEW] Rewrap lines when resizing the terminal

2010-11-22 Thread Adrian Petrescu
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

OS X's Terminal application has an amazingly useful feature, which is
that resizing the terminal window reflows the text already in it as if
it had been output at the new size. Since a lot of terminal applications
produce output that is practically unreadable if not wrapped properly,
this is a big time saver, since it saves having to re-execute the script
after resizing the window.

However, none of the modern Linux terminals seem to have this feature. I
think it would be a great addition.

I'm not even sure if this bug should be filed against gnome-terminal or
libvte. Let me know if I should move it.
