Honestly, why should we hack around terms that don't return valid values for us? Not wrapping seems perfectly reasonable in this situation.
Agreed. This seems to be a terminal problem, not a pacman problem, but it does make me curious if your terminal supports window size calculations and if so, what the user is supposed to do to get it. Someone said it was a broken terminal. While the term broken in this case might be an opinion, there is a real class of terminals known as dumb terminals. Yours might be one. There would be no true fix as the terminal is dumb by design. -- Jeff My other computer is an abacus.
