Bug Description

easily reproductible:

when you run tf inside a screen session and the terminal gets resized, all content gets lost. tf continues to work fine.
is fixed in upstream, when compiling that and running it works.

hence, maybe just version bump

Hi there, Leto.

What version of tf does this occur with, and what version of Ubuntu are you running?

(Also, what version of screen are you using, just in case there's some cross issue with the interaction of screen and tf here?)

Thanks!

I can replicate this bug, however, tf5 is supplied in the tf5 package, not in the tf package.

I'd suggest installing tf5 (which does work , verified) and eliminates the issue you're presenting.

Going to suggest this be marked LOW and Triaged.

Changed in tf (Ubuntu):

A workaround does exist for this scenario/bug. After resizing, if you issue a /recall command, it will recall the last X lines that were presented, and those lines will be formatted for the current buffer.
