[Python-modules-team] Bug#700003: [ipython] Resizing terminal garbles up the output

[Bastian Venthur]

Package: ipython
Version: 0.13.1-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When I resize my (gnome-)terminal, for example make it bigger while
ipython is running and do something like:

  >>> import numpy as np
  >>> np?

the screen is completely garbled up. And it is not possible to read the
help texts any more. As far as I know there is no way of restoring it to
a normal state.

With the normal python interpreter this problem does not exist.


Cheers,

Bastian
