3980	Support for large terminal windows with a tiny font	0xe2.0x9a.0x9b		"Hello.

The Kitty terminal emulator enables the user to quickly change the font size. With a very tiny font, the number of columns in the terminal is very large and seems to overflow an internal Midnight Commander limit.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new Kitty terminal window
2. Maximize the Kitty window
3. Start Midnight commander in Kitty
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+- multiple times until reaching the minimum font size

Executing ""tput cols"" can be used to get the number of columns in the terminal.

columns=384: correct rendering

columns=480: incorrect rendering (missing vertical bars, tput reports 480 columns from mc's command-line ---- this seems to be a Kitty bug)

columns=640: incorrect rendering (mc is on the left side of the screen, tput reports 80 columns from mc's command-line)

----

Xfce4-Terminal with fontsize=1 and 1906 columns: mc is on the left side of the screen, tput reports 80 columns from mc's command-line.

----

This is a bit academic/theoretical only, because the tiny font is unreadable on a 1920x1080 monitor. But with 4K/8K displays the font might be readable."	defect	closed	major		mc-tty	4.8.22	invalid		0xe2.0x9a.0x9b@…			no branch
