Re: screen does not maintain terminal dimensions upon reconnect

[Aaron Davies]

i've certainly had screen get into odd states when running complicated  
nested setups involving making connections to different layers from  
different sized terminal windows, sometimes simultaneously (through -x  
sharing). what generally happens is that some window will get stuck at  
a dimension lower than the minimum currently connected, and no amount  
of "fit" commands will fix it. the only general solution is to  
terminate the session and start over.

occasionally i get even worse, where the shell and screen get totally  
confused about where the cursor is, and will begin writing in the  
middle of the window, or overwrite the hardstatus line, or something.  
that can usually be fixed by just closing that window though.
