Re: window size doesn't change for 132 columns

It looks like something changed recently in openSuSE. Maybe the same

When I go to a screen that should expand to 132 columns, the window
stays the same size. It always used to expand horizontally to show all
the characters (at the same size as with 80 columns). F20 does move the
data over, but only to about column 91.

I use Kubuntu and a week or two ago there was an update to the xterm
package(s) - that's when I noticed my 132-column screens no longer
automatically re-sized themselves.

I'm afraid I have no insight about fixing the problem, only confirmation
that it's not tn5250 that caused the problem but a change in the
underlying terminal software.
