Sometimes I notice that with new tabs that the line wraps long before it should. Bash believes that the window size is much smaller than it is -- echo $COLUMNS confirms this. Either enlarging the font (and then shrinking it, if I wanted to) or resizing the window usually does the trick. It may be correlated to high machine load, I can't tell, but it happens a few times a day for me. openSUSE 12.3, x86_64, KDE 4.10.x When it /does/ happen, it's easy to confirm: echo $COLUMNS shows 80 or 81 or thereabouts. A resize brings that value to the 210-range (which is what it should be in my case). Reproducible: Sometimes
I can confirm this. It just started happening to me after I updated to 4.11.3. No matter how many times I resize Konsole, "echo $COLUMNS" keeps returning 80. I'm on Arch x64, KDE 4.11.3, Qt 4.8.5, Konsole 2.11.3

This is a regresstion since $COLUMNS works with 2.11.2 on my Kubuntu machine. I made bug 328161 for this 2.11.3 resize problem. Someone who knows insides of Konsole can mark them dupes if they are related
