#9606 closed bug (fixed)

Termcap: 'tput cols' always shows 80

Reported by: zzzzz Owned by: siarzhuk
Priority: normal Milestone: R1
Component: System/POSIX Version: R1/Development
Keywords: Termcap Terminfo ncurses Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: x86

Description

In Terminal 'tput cols' command always shows 80. No matter, if resized manually or by setting from the menu. Seems to me like hardcoded value.
On the other hand the output of 'tput cols' on Linux, say under konsole, after window having been resized is updated to the current value of terminal emulator window width in chars.

Tested on hrev45428 gcc4 x86, ticket filled as suggested on IRC by diver.

It just returns corresponding attribute from the termcap entry of the current $TERM.

Is not related to the Terminal - ssh Putty session to Haiku reproduces the same behavior.

BTW, ncurses' version of tput perceives the terminal size changes seamlessly. So migrating from termcap to terminfo should solve this issue too.
