    This is urxvt without tmux

    no tmux

    This is urxvt with tmux and utf8 not enabled in the config

    tmux with utf8 enabled

    This is urxvt with tmux and utf8 enabled in the config

    tmux with utf8 not enabled

    How can I make tmux act consistent with the initial result?

    tmux refresh display after terminal width change
  • mgalgs

    With screen, in a terminal that's 80 columns wide, I can do something like:

    for i in $(seq 81); do echo -n "m"; done; echo
    

    and then resize the window to be a little wider, and the last 'm' jumps up to where it would have been had I run the command before resizing the window. I'm really loving tmux but am missing this lovely feature from screen... Is there any way to make tmux do this (some hidden recompute-width command I haven't found yet)?

    As of February 2013, reflow is supported by tmux!

    Here's the commit.

    tmux does not currently support “reflow” or “rewrap” (following the behavior of xterm).

    The author of tmux has written several times that he does not personally like the reflow behavior of screen, but that he would consider incorporating it into tmux (as an option, presumably) if someone else were to implement it.

    Mailing list references (older first; not an exhaustive list, just what I pulled up with a bit of searching):
