Description Philippe Caresmel 2006-12-01 08:55:08 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

Hi,

I am currently working on RedHat Enterprise 5 beta with kde 3.5.4 and meet an uncomfortable difficulty when using Konsole : I sometime maximise my Konsole when the output is interesting to me. I would like the formaly provided output to be also redimensionned but can't manage this.

Similarly : if I reduce the width of my Konsole and then enlarge it, the output comes back to the primal size but can't manage becoming larger

Is this a "bug" kde.org is trying to fix?

Regards

I don't think this is something that can be 'fixed' in Konsole.  The output is 'dimensioned' at a lower level and has already been formatted for a given number of rows and columns by the time Konsole sees it.

The pipeline goes something like this:

Your Terminal Program --> Pseudo Teletype --> Konsole Terminal Emulation --> Konsole Display

The dimensioning of the output happens in the pseudo teletype.

If you can explain more about the program you are running and what you are trying to do I might be able to suggest an alternative solution.
