Re: 21.5 screen resize issue

Hi all -- This is a bit of a weird one... when using XEmacs 21.5 inside screen(1), and using multiple frames, XEmacs sometimes goes bonkers when I resize the terminal window. I've got a set of steps to reproduce the problem, using: - RedHat Linux (tried EL3 and FC5) - XEmacs 21.5.27 - screen 4.00.02 - Any type of terminal (PuTTY, xterm, etc.) Here are the steps: 1. Open an 80x24 terminal window, and start screen. 2. Inside screen, start xemacs, and use C-x 5 2 to create a new frame. Type "Hello". 3. Resize the terminal to something larger than 80x24. You should notice that XEmacs APPEARS to handle the resize correctly -- your "Hello" is in the top-left corner, and the modeline moves to the bottom and spans the full width of the terminal. 4. Now try typing. Does everything work normally? When I do this, XEmacs seems to behave as if it's inside a terminal that's only 2 characters wide x 3 characters tall, positioned in the top-left corner of the real terminal. If I press M-<, what I actually see is: H$ <-- truncated "Hello" -- <-- the modeline M\ <-- truncated "Mark set" from M-< Recovering from this is very tricky. It's not enough to put the terminal back to its previous size; I need to actually delete the frame (C-x 5 0), and sometimes still adjust the size of the terminal for it to really recover. Using 21.4, everything seems to work correctly. And with no frames, there's no problem. Anybody know what might be going on here? Any suggestions for how I might track this down?
