putty+ssh+screen = auto resizing?

[Andrew McGlashan]

Hi,

I just come across this problem.

And I've worked out the solution.

In my case, a putty session that worked perfectly has TERM set as xterm
and ones that gave the resize issue were xterm-color ... that was the
only difference in the setups.

So, I worked on this and found that all I needed to do was adjust
/etc/screenrc as follows.

old line:
termcapinfo xterm 'is=\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;4;6l'

new line (added * character)
termcapinfo xterm* 'is=\E[r\E[m\E[2J\E[H\E[?7h\E[?1;4;6l'


Leading to this discovery, I tried changing TERM from xterm-color to
xterm and the desired behaviour took place; then I worked through
screenrc settings as necessary to get the "good" solution for this problem.

Cheers
