  • [Feature] Screen Size Checks after login

    From Michael J. Ryan@VERT to GitLab issue in main/sbbs on Sat Mar 4 13:06:35 2023

    Would be nice if the screen size were re-checked at a few locations, as well as having a JS method that can recheck/block.

    For instance, if a user resizes their terminal while reading messages, it would be nice if before re-showing or showing the next message the system does a screen size check.

    Similarly, it would be nice to have a JS function on the console object that does the same.

    `console.getdimensions()` (AKA `getlines()` and `ansi_getlines()`) already does this.

    And this method is called from exec/termsetup.js which is automatically called after a user exits the default user config/settings menu in all the stock command shells.

    Who resizes their terminal while reading messages?

    Do you do that often? I have never done it, and can't see why I would
    want to...
