Description support 2010-12-10 12:37:51 UTC 
Version:           2.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Was working fine yesterday. Today ps -ef results in lines being truncated at 80 columns instead of line wrapping. The Konsole width is set to 80 columns and matches both the COLUMNS env var and the stty -a output

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start konsole
Run ps -ef

Actual Results:  
Output truncated to 80 columns

Expected Results:  
Output longer than 80 characters should wrap to the next line
Comment 1 support 2010-12-10 14:27:05 UTC 
This is caused by adding eval `resize` to the shell startup files. If this is removed the COLUMNS env var remains unset and ps behaves as expected. You have to add the eval `resize` to fix the two year old Konsole bug (176902) that breaks signal handling for screens of exactly 80x40 in size

The problem is not specific to konsole. 'ps -ef' will get line truncated in xterm/gnome-terminal/linux-console. 'ps -ef --cols ...' from comment #1 works well.

So I will close it.
