Please try the latest git version. Does it have proper size on start?

Created attachment 6709 get envvar TERM - "terminal is not fully functional" fix $ xfce4-terminal --version | head -1 xfce4-terminal 0.7.0git-e312a17 (Xfce 4.12) $ echo $TERM xterm-256color $ echo $COLORTERM truecolor
What is broken with $TERM == dumb: - man pager e.g. 'man man' "WARNING: terminal is not fully functional - (press RETURN)" - apps utilising Text User Interface aka TUI - via libncurses or libslang, such as mc, nmtui, ntsysv, bwm-ng, htop, etc. e.g. 'mc' "Your terminal lacks the ability to clear the screen or position the cursor." - terminal screen clearing e.g. "clear-screen - ^L" (bash) and 'clear' (ncurses) This bug can be emulated with: 'export TERM=dumb ; <command(s) - above mentioned>'
@poma I'm not seeing the $TERM issue on my system (it's xterm-256color for me) but I will check and probably merge your patch later. Thanks.
I've pushed your change, thanks!
All right!
Great!
