But the env COLUMNS and LINES still have the value 80 and 25. If I then run a sub bash, the values are ok [jehan@BRIO jehan] $echo $COLUMNS $LINES 80 25 [jehan@BRIO jehan] $bash [jehan@BRIO jehan] $echo $COLUMNS $LINES 132 60 Most of the time it's not a problem. But if I have a long command line, instead of wraping after 130 characters, it wraps after 80. Also, if I resize vertically the window, the current application isn't aware of the change which can result on weird display (the status line in less/man for instance, or the whole display of emacs).
