Hi,

when I am confronted with a large list of bugs to check if mine is
already filed, I tend to enlargen the terminal window, hoping to see
more at once, and see longer subject lines. Unfortunately, reportbug
does not pick that up. It would be nice if that would be the case.

Thanks,
Joachim

It seems that it works for me : reportbug have to be launched after
terminal has been resised for this to take effect...
anyhow some package have long long names and are sometimes repeated
twice e.g.
nvidia-kernel-source:(1)  nvidia-kernel-source (2) .96xx version isX (cut)
(1) added by reportbug
(2) added by repporter
and you may not be able to resize a console at will...
it should be a good idea to strip off package name from the headline
displayed in reportbug...

the number of lines.

Note: bug 128092 asks for a redisplay. Perhaps reportbug should.
But it should at least take the new terminal size into account
for the subsequent queries, which it currently doesn't.
