NetBSD ouikka 4.99.7 NetBSD 4.99.7 (GENERIC_LAPTOP) #2: Sun Dec 24 23:11:07 EST
2006 root@baal:/foo/GENERIC_LAPTOP i386
>Description:
When called with -geometry option, aterm(1) does not set the COLUMNS and LINES
environment variable correctly which cause software using curses (among others)
to use only a part of the terminal
>How-To-Repeat:
- install x11/aterm
- run `aterm -geometry 100x50'
- check the value of COLUMNS and LINES in the opened terminal:
% set | grep -aE 'COLUMNS|LINES'
COLUMNS=80
LINES=24
>Fix:
CVS version of aterm does not seem to have this problem, but 1.0.0, so wait for
a new aterm version, or isolate the change which changed the behaviour.
