Unfortunately this makes that when I use nano in konsole or xterm (under KDE) it fits the window size and when I maximize the konsole window nano stays with its old size (I mean it doesn't fit the new window size) what is quite irritating.

Process bar doesn't display in one line but in new line when the percent state has changed.
Is it possible to configure that variables in such way that it work well also with pacman and with nano?

type 'reset' and that usually fixes any display problems in the console.
