Bug report

Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.

  • iTerm2 version: Build 3.5.2
  • OS version: Mac Build 3.5.2
  • Attach ~/Library/Preferences/com.googlecode.iterm2.plist here (drag-drop from finder into this window)
  • Attach a debug log, if possible.
  • Attach a screen capture video if it would make the reproduction steps clearer.

com.googlecode.iterm2.plist

PLEASE ATTACH YOUR PLIST FILE FOR BUG REPORTS! Seriously! I'll probably ask you for it if you don’t.

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem

Very simple (and used to work on older iterm2)

ssh to an openVMS system with a wide & long screen type vi k.txt vi thinks screen is 80x24 do a SHOW TERM and it will show

$ show term Terminal: _FTA53: Device_Type: VT400_Series Owner: JONPOWER

Input: 9600 LFfill: 0 Width: 80 Parity: None Output: 9600 CRfill: 0 Page: 24

Screenshot_using_iterm2 ( you can see the vms ssh sessions thinks the screen is 80x24)

Screenshot_using_terminal ( terminal works as expected)

Seems there is some issue when replaying to a real vt420 INQ string from VMS

What happened

What should have happened

should have recos=gnized the actual screen size here is the same ssh using terminal; $ show term Terminal: _FTA50: Device_Type: VT100 Owner: JONPOWER

Input: 9600 LFfill: 0 Width: 231 Parity: None Output: 9600 CRfill: 0 Page: 61
