Here is a video demonstrating this: https://vid.me/IdNG I create some lengthy output by executing `for i in {1..10} ; do echo $TERM ; done` and then I add new terminal windows in the vertical split container. After adding the 4th terminal window, the bottom border of the first window overlaps with the content of the window and cuts off the overlapping portion. When I return to this window, the content remains cut off and no prompt is visible until I press a key. The second half of the video demonstrates that this problem is not present with xterm. How can this problem be solved? - i3 config: http://pastie.org/private/x8qy84dm3ed72forzpl8ww - No custom ``.Xdefaults`` or ``.Xresources`` config used Mon, 19 Oct 2015 23:07:55 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6989/resize-issue-with-urxvt/Comment by Adaephon for When the urxvt terminal is resized (for example by adding new windows), it cuts off the output of the terminal.

Although I would replace `$LINE` by a number that is greater than the maximum of lines fitting on your screen, if you often close and reopen terminals in the same container.Tue, 20 Oct 2015 18:43:37 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6989/resize-issue-with-urxvt/?comment=6994#comment-6994Comment by Airblader for When the urxvt terminal is resized (for example by adding new windows), it cuts off the output of the terminal.

The workaround posted by Adaephon didn't really work that well for me. Therefore I had a look at the source code of urxvt and posted a patch for this issue on the urxvt mailing list: http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2015q4/002196.html Besides the issue mentioned here, this also fixes some other resizing problems of urxvt.Sat, 24 Oct 2015 22:06:28 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/6989/resize-issue-with-urxvt/?answer=7039#post-id-7039Answer by Airblader for When the urxvt terminal is resized (for example by adding new windows), it cuts off the output of the terminal.
