bug report: terminal windows do not keep the same amount of characters per line when dragging to a screen with a different scaling factor


  

i’ve found annoying bug in (new) terminal/console, becomes apperent if you’re using terminal applications. under conditions, screen width (in characters) changes when dragging dos window screen different scaling factor. no problem when using dos commands, when running console based applications telnet, messes screen content.

to reproduce:
– give 1 screen scaling factor of 100%, other 1 of 150%
– open dosbox , change dimensions 40×25 characters, lucida console 24pt.
– drag other screen
– check dimensions. in case changed 42×24.

workaround:
– experiment font size. in case, using lucida console 23pt did trick.

if knows report bug, please so.
