I use rxvt-unicode as my main terminal emulator in Gnome, and I love it. But now I have switched to Awesome WM, and I have some problems when I resize the terminal. For example, if I have lots of text and the window gets smaller (either by manually resizing it or by tiling it) the text disappears instead of wrapping. This is annoying because this even eats my prompt and the output of the last command. The only "solution" I have found here on the forums is an old thread from 2009 (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=75478). I have compiled urxvt from abs with those lines commented (altough that section of code has changed slightly) and the problem is still present. Does anybody knows if there is a solution?

I found a really weird "workaround", or at least I noticed when the problem really happens. urxvt won't wrap lines if there isn't enough text on it. And by enough text, I mean enough lines that don't fit on a single screen so you can start scrolling. For example, if I open a new terminal and I run a comand that outputs only a long line of text, that line won't expand if I make the terminal bigger and it will be erased if I make it smaller. But if I write more lines until I can scroll text, line wrapping will work normally. So if I open terminal maximized and I won't my text erased, I'll have to output lots of text. Also, if I make the terminal bigger so the text fits on one screen so it's not necessary to scroll, the problem emerges again...
