I’m experiencing an issue with commands that provide a tui interface like journalctl, systemctl and vim. It feels like terminal dimensions are not matching up somehow. And this issue is present only some times. On host I’m using Black Box and I tile my windows using pop os tiler. I’m also frequently scaling the font with ctrl + and ctrl - shortcuts. Remote sshd host is running Debian variables $LINES and $COLUMNS are set. bashrc files are in their default state.

How is this supposed to work? Isn’t my terminal client sending new $LINES and $COLUMNS each time there is a change?
