           Summary: konsole ought to communicate number of columns (and
                    lines) to vi
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: lucius1 at charter.net


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.2.1 
OS:          Linux

If you resize a konsole session and then start vi (actually VIM - Vi IMproved 6.1 (2002 Mar 24, compiled Jul 20 2003 00:52:33)), vi still thinks that it has an 80 column screen.  In contrast, if you start an xterm (actually XFree86 4.2.99.903(174)) under KDE and resize it, vi recognizes that the number of columns and lines has changed, even if vi is already running during the resize.  It would be nice to add this feature to konsole.
