workaround syncterm's lying height
jquast opened this issue · comments
adjust our derivied Terminal, that, when kind = 'ansi' and height is 25 or whatever, to actually report 24, so that we can always write to term.height on all terminals
Hrm. Well, SyncTERM can also have the status bar disabled. However, since it doesn't report its height correctly (and it's even worse over SSH due to libcl), I guess there's no good way around that.
on the ~2-3yr-old macbuild i use, it reports the same height whether its enabled or not. I have mine disabled, i recall its enabled by default ... i hope it shouldn't be -2 in such cases
The -2 is excessive, I think, isn't it? Why not -1? It's now 80x23 for SyncTerm, which makes DOS doors screw up (and the term fails to meet the x84.bbs.door.launch size restrictions for a DOS door, as well, and apparently it trying to fake 80x25 on 80x23 causes an exception, but that's a separate issue that can be dealt with).
