xmonad + urxvt issue: text disappears after resizing

5

I'm using Arch Linux + xmonad + urxvt bundle and trying to resolve the conflict between xmonad and urxvt. Better to explain with shots: Firstly, open the terminal and get some full-length output. Secondly, create another window, which squeezes the first. And, finally, close it to find out that half of the output disappeared.

Sometimes it behaves correctly, sometimes not. Tried to find out why, but failed. Many thx in advance!

The initial state with only one window (su filter didn't allow to post more than 2 links): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/45184302/2012-06-28-150851_1366x768_scrot.png

There's a bug report for this here (not upstream though): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rxvt-unicode/+bug/677425

One solution is to run your commands within screen. Screen wraps lines while resizing, but in this case, running a shell inside a terminal multiplexer may seem a little unaesthetic.

The second solution is to use the following code in your .bashrc:

for (( i=1; i<=$LINES; i++ )); do echo; done; clear

If $LINES is undefined, then set LINES=$(tput lines).
