[solved] resizing PuTTY window while running nano is messed up
If I'm using PuTTY (Windows SSH client / terminal emulator) and nano running on Arch Linux, window resizing is completely broken. On Debian it is fine however. I went to see if they used any patches, but they don't, none related to terminal resizing so there must be some other cause.
When you resize while running nano it can look like this in Arch:
And in Debian:
Both have checkwinsize in bash enabled, but other than that I have really no idea how to fix it... It's VERY annoying! As it also leaves bash kinda confused after closing nano, until you resize it again.

Re: [solved] resizing PuTTY window while running nano is messed up
I fixed it. Commenting out "export COLUMNS LINES" in /etc/profile did the trick.
