           Summary: Konsole does not notify shell of window size when
                    window size is 40 rows x 80 columns
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.6
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: koersen at gmail.com


Version:           2.6 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I like my terminal windows to be 80x40 (40 rows x 80 columns), just like good
old XTerm. With this size set, when I open a new terminal stty -a shows 'rows
0; columns 0'.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Open console, resize window to 80x40;
Close konsole and re-open;
run stty -a

Actual Results:  
stty -a shows rows 0; columns 0;

This gives problems later, especially when using the bash command history.

Expected Results:  
stty -a should show rows 40; columns 80;

As a work-around I used to have an "eval `resize`" in my .bashrc, but xterm
does not need that and it's only needed for 80x40, so I think konsole should
notify the shell of it's size at startup, even if it is 80x40, just like xterm.

It seems like konsole specifically checks for size 80x40. I hope this check is
not there because of some other bug.
