|    Odd Golded Question?    |
|    26 Jan 17 13:03:06    |
       Hello mark!               JS>> If I try to increase the window size using Linux then Golded gets        JS>> all "Squirlly". Especially when I try to scroll.               ml> my terminal screens are 197x62... someone recently reported a problem        ml> with wider screens... i suspect there's a problem in that golded is        ml> probably using a byte counter for the width... a byte counter has a        ml> max of 255 columns and anything wider than that will roll back to zero        ml> and start over...              In testing I have found that if I increase the terminal screen beyound       132x39 then Golded starts to have problems. If I go beyond 132 then the       terminal window extends beyond the edge of the screen on the right.              I will do some more testing with screen size and display font in both       Linux and Golded to achieve a balance between what I thinks looks good       and what both Linux and Golded can deal with.               JS>> I am suspecting that Golded might have some display limitations.        JS>> In the past I have only used Golded using a 17 monitor on a Win32        JS>> machine.               ml> try a test... set your terminal width to 255 and see if golded        ml> works... then try 256 and see if it craps... 256 should be the same as        ml> zero if my suspicion above is right...              Will do and advise. Typing this with it set to 132 and Golded is displaying       everything in it's proper and expected location on the screen. And the terminal       window fills the desktop display area.              That all having been said I still catch myself ending my lines manually at 80       charactors. |
