Window resize

[brosky]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start a session with a window at a random size, login to a terminal via Aker
2. Resizing the window will cause the terminal boundaries to be fixed - even if you make the window larger, the terminal will stay at the login-time-coordinates.
   If I log-out / log-in to that box, the window size is ok, according to the new dimensions.

What ssh client do you use?
What is your terminal environment variable, "env|grep -i term" ?
Can you attach a screenshot of the messed screen please?

I see this in logs:

Apr 16 18:32:17 sshgw-cj Aker: SSHClient ERROR - global name 'get_console_dimensions' is not defined

I'll attach later a screenshot too.
I've recorded with asciinema a sample wrong wrapping, but on the screen looks wrong and the recording is fine :)

Hmm, interesting. Please share all data above to check.

Hi @anazmy,
I had the same issue with the terminal resize on i3.
It seems you are using a signal (SIGWINCH) to catch a window resize.
It seems this signal is not always sent, or working.
As I saw on this example : https://github.com/sirosen/paramiko-shell/blob/master/interactive_shell.py
you could check the terminal size on each iteration without much over cost (it seems).
I implemented it on my aker version and all seems to work well since then.
