           Summary: wineconsole window sizing, scrolling, cursor setting,
                    text input and signal handling failures
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.18.
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P1
         Component: wine-console
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: ekkehard.morgenstern at onlinehome.de


Wineconsole has difficulties with the most basic things like window size,
scrolling, and text input. This shows especially when you try to use a command
shell like by running "wineconsole wcmd" (hasn't anyone ever tried this?) to
emulate the Windows command prompt. It's fairly unusable especially because the
CTRL-C signal event isn't handled properly (crashes wineconsole). Even Windows
users need a command line! ;-)
The scrolling / cursor setting / etc. problem disappears when I resize my xterm
to full window size, but that's not a way of working. Wineconsole must handle 
the window size of its enclosing terminal, not just after the first window size
event occurs. On Windows (95,98,NT4,2000,XP), console window size isn't fixed,
it's dynamic (user- and program-settable).

I've tested it on Wine 0.9.18 compiled from the source with GCC 4.0.3 on
Slackware Linux 10.2 with Kernel 2.6.18.
