terminal size

[folkert]

Hi,

I have an application which does a newterm (on a tcp socket) with
for type a null.
Now I can do mvprintw and refresh but not repeatingly; then all data
gets scrambled (printed at the wrong location).

So I wonder: if ncurses thinks that the terminal is 80x24 while in
reality it is much bigger, does it expect the terminal to do e.g. wrap
automatically at column 81? Because that could explain my problem. And
if that is the case; can I disable this optimalization somehow?


regards
