|    Odd Golded Question?    |
|    28 Jan 17 12:34:16    |
       On 2017 Jan 26 13:03:06, you wrote to me:               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        ml>> zero and start over...               JS> In testing I have found that if I increase the terminal screen beyound        JS> 132x39 then Golded starts to have problems. If I go beyond 132 then        JS> the terminal window extends beyond the edge of the screen on the        JS> right.              i forgot to mention that my GUI dimensions are 1600x1200 at this time... this       is one reason why i can have such TUI widths... are you running your golded in       an xterm in a GUI or are you running it bare in a TUI??               JS> I will do some more testing with screen size and display font in both        JS> Linux and Golded to achieve a balance between what I thinks looks good        JS> and what both Linux and Golded can deal with.               JS>>> I am suspecting that Golded might have some display limitations. In        JS>>> 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        ml>> as zero if my suspicion above is right...               JS> Will do and advise. Typing this with it set to 132 and Golded is        JS> displaying everything in it's proper and expected location on the        JS> screen. And the terminal window fills the desktop display area.               JS> That all having been said I still catch myself ending my lines        JS> manually at 80 charactors. |
