Long lines in terminal lines are not wrapped #47

I cannot reproduce this consistently but to try it:

open a terminal eg. gnome-terminal or mate-terminal
snap the window to the left or right half of the screen
type "env" or other command which produces some long lines
observe the long lines not being wrapped

I observed this when I ssh'd to a Centos6 server which is running zsh. My host machine is Debian Wheezy running MATE 1.6.0.

I am using quicktile 0.2.2

QuickTile just looks up the currently active window and asks your window manager to resize it to a specific preset. It doesn't even perform the resize itself.

The fact that either your terminal or your window manager has a bug that causes an intermittent bad reaction to being resized is neither QuickTile's fault nor something it has the power to work around.
