Message-ID: <19950815155501.05RVgrcXfZKt2UpEM7M59uxngxBwPYWQur3DO-Ds3ZQ@z> (raw)

This is a silly bug with no easy guaranteed fix.  The code has a check
against the problem but it's too lax.  Change the appearances of the
value 20 in /sys/src/cmd/acme/rows.l to 80 and that should cover
most cases.  A proper fix involves rewriting the underlying frame library,
which may happen someday but not anytime soon.  I have placed the
diffs in the errata web page.  It's not worth posting a new binary; just
avoid making columns so uselessly narrow.
