Mintty terminal always opens at 79 char width

Mintty terminal always opens at 79 char width

[Saurabh T]

n/t. Despite being set to 80 in the Options, Apply/Save being done, minttyrc being manually edited to say Columns=80, windows keep opening at 79 char width. This is on Windows 10 Home with the latest 32 bit Cygwin 2.11.2. I've tried both Consolas and Lucida Console font. Thanks,
saurabh

bottom post on this mailing list, please

What is your shell ?
The value of COLUMNS is updated at any redimensioning of term size
both with Mintty and with Xterm

Please try to minimize/remove your config file and quote a minimal
configuration that has the effect. Do you have the scrollbar enabled?


That was helpful! Removed .minttyrc, then opened a terminal, the problem had disappeared. Now bringing back the same exact .minttyrc does not have any problem. Thank you!
