Also consider that readline has quite a few options and it might not be clear to all users that working scrolling in one-line terminals requires extra configuration (case in point: myself). Is there any downside to enabling it by default for terminals of height 1?
I'm generally wary of automatically changing the default value of user- settable options without any user intervention, but it's certainly worth considering for this case. I prefer that applications (or users) configure the environment that suits their needs. -- ``The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne.'' - Chaucer ``Ars longa, vita brevis'' - Hippocrates Chet Ramey, UTech, CWRU address@hidden http://tiswww.cwru.edu/~chet/
