Description of problem:

When opening a new tab in a konsole window with dimensions 80x40, the
new tab has LINES=24 set in the environment.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kdebase-4.1.3-2.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Close all konsole windows
2. Open new konsole window, resize to 80x40, close window.
3. Open konsole window then open a new tab
4. In the new tab run 'echo $LINES ; resize ; echo $LINES'

Actual results:

$ echo $LINES ; resize ; echo $LINES
24
COLUMNS=80;
LINES=40;
export COLUMNS LINES;
40

Expected results:

$ echo $LINES ; resize ; echo $LINES
40
COLUMNS=80;
LINES=40;
export COLUMNS LINES;
40

Additional info:

Note that after running resize, the environment changes to the correct value.
This only seems to happen if the window is 80x40, any other size, e.g. 81x40 or 80x39 the value of $LINES is correct in the new tab.

I'm currently testing kde-4.2(beta2), and can't reproduce this there, so
hopefully that means

I can reproduce it in KDE 4.1 (kdebase-4.1.3-2.fc10.x86_64).

And it is still reproducible in latest SVN trunk (clean, no Fedora
patches). Looks like this bug:

Reopening to track KDE 4.2 push (reference added to the KDE 4.2 update,

Thanks for continuing to monitor this upstream, although everybody
failed to notice that it's not fixed upstream, and certainly isn't fixed
in the current release.  Changing to CLOSED - UPSTREAM since that's a
bit more accurate.

It got included in my mass close because it got added to the kde42
tracker as fixed in 4.2. Apparently somebody incorrectly claimed it was
fixed in 4.2. I've taken it off that tracker. Sorry for the mess.

from ubuntu , Konsole swaps COLUMNS and LINES , when a resize is done
from inside a program (eg vi)

The following command line totally messes-up konsole until it is resized
with mouse !

$ resize; vi /tmp/a +"set co=$(($COLUMNS + 3))" +:q; resize
