Ticket #2198 (closed defect: fixed)
Terminal settings not changed when window resize

Description
1) It's done in Terminal used in XFce (if that's matter)
2) Launch Terminal, then start mc
3) Press Ctrl-O to go into console mode
4) Resize the window (I usually make it bigger)
5) Run some terminal app that usually uses full terminal width/height. I.e. vim, ufed or any other app/editor.
6) Its size will be less than it should be. If you change the window length/height, you won't get any success. The application will have fixed size/height.
That's probably the bug introduced in new-generation of midnight commander, developed by Slavaz. I don't have the same bug in mc-4.6.2-pre1 version used on my Debian Lenny server.
Thanks for your great work on improving mc!

x11-terms/terminal-0.4.4
app-shells/bash-4.0_p37
sys-libs/ncurses-5.7-r3
$ ldd which mc | egrep 'lang|ncurse'
libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/libncursesw.so.5 (0xb767a000)
libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb73f4000)
So probably it's not a slang version.
I'm Gentoo user. Please let me know if you need any assistance on fixing this bug.
Thank you.

I've tested it with the following 4x2 combinations, on Mac OS 10.5:
{ 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7.0.5, 4.7.2 } x { slang, ncurses }
It's always the ncurses build that doesn't resize properly, with any of those mc versions.

Definetely, no.

Strange. I've tried 4.6.1 from repo, and it doesn't work also. It seems, subshell resizing in NCurses-based mc didn't work ever.

Correct, it is an NCurses-related bug only. But implementation of window resize handling in S-Lang-based mc is not quite correct.
In general, the implementation of SIGWINCH signal handling in mc should be rewritten. One of possible way is described in #117.

Fixed in 4.8.1-stable: [89f59bb12bec8a50dc7520e7784d79baba89b140].
What Terminal version?
What shell is used and its version?
What screen library is used: S-Lang or NCurses?
