When a new tab is created in the same konsole window and the file is opened using vim, the vim content appears to be limited to 80x24 even though the window itself is still 80x40. I was able to reproduce this issue using different user accounts and does not appear to be related to any environment settings. Interestingly, when a new tab is created that displays this type of behaviour (where the vim content is truncated to 24 lines) is detached, the new window behaves normally (vim output is the full length of the window). Also, this behaviour isn't limited to just the first tab, but to all subsequent tabs created after the initial window is launched.

Here are my steps to reproduce, taken from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477359 1. Close all konsole windows 2. Open new konsole window, resize to 80x40, close window. 3. Open konsole window then open a new tab 4. In the new tab run 'echo $LINES ; resize ; echo $LINES' Actual results: $ echo $LINES ; resize ; echo $LINES 24 COLUMNS=80; LINES=40; export COLUMNS LINES; 40 Expected results: $ echo $LINES ; resize ; echo $LINES 40 COLUMNS=80; LINES=40; export COLUMNS LINES; 40 As shown by the actual results, the problem is that creating a new tab in an 80x40 konsole window results in LINES=24 initially, confusing apps using ncurses. Resizing the window or running 'resize' corrects the value of $LINES, but should nto be necessary.

Now, if anyone has a clue where to start looking to fix this, I'll happily fix it myself, as I find it very annoying. I grabbed the konsole code and couldn't find anything obvious that caused it, but I don't know the code and didn't spend long familiarising myself with it. It seems that the konsole process has some value of LINES that differs from the environment of the process in the first tab, because although the first tab has the correct values, opening a new tab does not. Also, this aspect of the behaviour seems relevant: 1. Close all konsole windows 2. Open new konsole window, resize to 80x40, close window. 3a. Open konsole window. 3b. Maximise the konsole window. 3c. Restore the konsole window to 80x40. 3d. Open new tab. 4. In the new tab run 'echo $LINES ; resize ; echo $LINES' Even after resizing (causing a SIGWINCH to be delivered to the process in the first tab) the second and subsequent tabs do not have the right value. That implies to me that the values are being stored somewhere else, separate from the first tab. I don't understand why the first tab's shell gets the right values if konsole doesn't have them, and I don't understand why this *only* happens with an 80x40 window, not any other size. As I said, if anyone can give me a pointer to the relevant bit of Konsole, the KDE libs, or Qt, I'll try to fix it, but I need a clue as most of my code runs in headless servers and libraries, not GUIs.

I'm running KDE 4.4.2 on Debian unstable (packages from Debian experimental). For me this bug manifests like this: when I start KDE, my session restores an 80x40 Konsole window with multiple tabs. On the tab that's active when Konsole is launched, in-terminal applications are correctly being told that the terminal is 80x40. On any other tab, however, they think that the terminal is 80x24. If I resize Konsole the size information becomes correct for the active tab only; so I have to repeat a resizing ritual for every tab I want to "fix".

I've written some example C code to trigger the bug. It's getting the terminal size using the TIOCGWINSZ ioctl to get the terminal size. The TIOCGWINSZ ioctl call reports the correct size only when not using Konsole's -e option. With the -e option, the size is always reported as 0x0: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <termios.h> int main( void ) { struct winsize size; size.ws_col = size.ws_row = 0; if (ioctl(0, TIOCGWINSZ, &size) < 0) { printf("Error: ioctl failed.\n"); return 1; } printf("Terminal size: %dx%d\n", size.ws_col, size.ws_row); printf("[ENTER to quit.]"); scanf("%*[^\n]"); return 0; } Build the program (gcc filename.c) and run it first with: ./a.out and then with: konsole -e ./a.out If in the second case the result is 0x0, then you confirmed the bug.

Thanks for pointing out the relevant piece of code! > That would mean checking the flag every time, when it's only needed on the > first setImageSize call for a given object, so I'll look into a better fix. Added a gdb breakpoint and found that there are two calls to Emulation::setImageSize during creation of a new window. But boths parts go through the resize codepath for a long while, so adding a simple "emit size setting now" call to either one seemed too much of a burden. After all, resizes are slow as hell already, that bit of added code will hardly make a difference. An alternative would be to change the default screen sizes in the constructor. One could either choose 24x80 as the default screen size, as this is what most apps seem to expect, or 1x1, as this is almost certainly different from any screen size actually used. The first approach relies on defaults which need not be fixed, and should therefore be avoided. Both approaches force a resize of the screens created in the constructor, which is some overhead I'd like to avoid.

Only remotely related, I'd say: this here is about wrong size while the window shows, while that one is about wrong size at app startup, while the window is still invisible.

So the initial size , 0x0, is returned to the terminal process. The details are not the same : a). in this bug, SIGNAL(imageSizeChanged()) is not emitted, because the initial size and default size happens to be the same, 80x40. b). in #203185, SIGNAL(imageSizeChanged()) is emitted, but terminal process start too quickly so it still gets 0x0. That is a race condition. The attached patch tries to guarantee that when terminal process starts and queries the pty device about size, it always get the proper size. It's similar to martin's patch, but also considers #203185. This patch uses a hard-coded delay, which is not elegant but works well in practice. Feel free to make any modification to it.

Committed on 05/08/2011 at 16:40. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'. Make sure pty device has right size before terminal process queries it. Whenever TeminalDisplay is resized, konsole tells the underlying pty device its new size by calling Pty::setWindowSize(). However, current code can't guarantee when the terminal process starts and queries the pty device about its size, the pty device already has the right info. This has caused some long known bugs, such as #176902. This patch tries to guarantee that important assumption. It currently uses a hard-coded small delay, which works pretty well in practice although not that elegant.
