About truncated lines

[chivstyle]

Hi

We used TerminalCtrl/Terminal and experienced a better performance than xterm which we developed. Two issues here, please check it out.

• After resizing the window, the lines were truncated, and lost. That means we lost the logs (maybe important) after resizing. Mintty remembers the characters truncated, I think it's a good idea.
• Only for Chinese env. 😄. TerminalCtrl/Terminal will move the caret to home when switching input method by CTRL+SHIFT. Not for every input method but Microsoft Pinyin. It's not a problem for us, we used other input methods.

Best regards.

This is in the works. One of the reasons why I haven't marked TerminalCtrl as 2022. 2. This will take some time, I need to iron out some details. (Initial version will probably land around this december. But I'll do my best to land it earlier.)

A gif woulld be very useful to describe the situation here (as I am not really familiar with Chinese input methods.)

Best regards.

Steps to reproduce this issue.

• Start a terminal, and input command, such as "echo aaaaaaa"
• Press CTRL+SHIFT to switch input method
• The caret was moved to HOME unexpectedly when switching Chinese to English, please see the GIF image above for detail.

OK, thank you very much for the gif, I'll look into it ASAP.

Hi,

While line wrapping is not (yet) implemented, I've -hopefully- improved the situation. Lines should be no longer truncated on terminal/window resize.
