Take the tour ×  I recently migrated from 10.6 to 10.8. I use
Terminal to connect to various linux boxes where the TERM
variable is observed to be xterm-color. This seems to be
consistent with the 10.6 setting of TERM.  However, since
upgrading I've been having issues with my Terminal sessions
if/when I resize them to something wider than 80x24. What would
normally be very long lines of text seem to wrap at 80 columns
until I resize again, at which point it displays properly. That
is, it's like the width is stuck at the last size (wrapping
everything at the previous width) until a resize is done after
displaying something expecting a greater width.  This sort of
feels like either the [n]curses entry for xterm-color got
changed (it didn't) or that terminal is not really emulating an
xterm-color device. The behavior is different (maybe better--I'm
still evaluating) if specify a plain xterm.  Is there a better
setting for TERM when using Mountain Lion's Terminal?
