display-line-number-mode produces bad term buffers with extra breaks.

When using global-display-line-numbers there are some issues in term
mode because of the extra columns needed by the numbers.

The lines are broken because "tput cols" and $COLUMNS report the total
width of the window, but it does not take into account the 3/4 (or more)
chars taken by the line number. So longer lines need to be broken to fit.

The problem is worst when trying to use for example mocp or similar
curses bases applications. Or in zsh that uses an alternative to
readline to select with tabs.

A workaround is be to disable the numbers in term-mode with a hook (this
hides the problem). But a proper fix (maybe) could be to inform properly the
number of columns to the terminal process.

To reproduce this issue just:
1) open emacs, 
2) enable display-line-numbers-mode
3) M-x term. 

Any curses based program there should expose the issue easily.

I tried with emacs 26.1 and the master branch too.

Regards

So it seems that some of the problems are due to the process not being
told the size of the really usable text area.  This is done normally via
window-adjust-process-window-size-function which in turns calls
window-adjust-process-window-size which then calls
window-max-chars-per-line but that function does not take
display-line-numbers-width into account.

So maybe a simple fix is the patch below, but I'm not sure it's always
the right thing to do (and the width won't be automatically updated when
the (line-number-display-width) changes).


        Stefan


PS: Why is the function called `line-number-display-width` when
everything else seems to use the `display-line-number` prefix?  
It makes it more difficult to find.

Because display-line-numbers-line-number-display-width is a mouthful
that I couldn't live with, and also repeats 3 words twice each.

I think you want (line-number-display-width 'columns), since this
wants the canonical column units, right?

That would be awful, indeed.

How 'bout display-line-numbers-width or display-line-numbers-current-width?

Could be, I don't know.  I don't know that all callers of
window-max-chars-per-line want that either.

I think I considered those at the time, but found them not descriptive
enough.

And please remember that originally the code was entirely in C, so
there was no "package name" to use as prefix.  display-line-numbers.el
and display-line-numbers-mode were born much later.

I hope someone does know.

Oh, of course.  But I think in the current context, it would be good to
bring that variable into the "display-line-numbers" prefix.

At first, TAB completion gave me the impression that there was simply no
way to know from Elisp the actual width, because the list of completions
seemed long enough to have the appearance of exhaustiveness.

So do I.  Martin maybe?

Same.

My problem was, and is, that the name should include "display-width",
since that's what the function provides.  And the problem, of course,
is that "display-line-numbers-" already includes "display" and
"line-number", so repeating any of that produces problematic names.

Maybe just mentioning the variable in the doc string of
display-line-numbers-mode would be "good enough".

Not following this thread.  Feel free to ignore.

Why does the name need to include "display-width"?
What's unclear about, say, `line-number-width'?

It's not unclear, it's wrong.

And even if we disregard the fact that it's wrong, it still includes
"line-number", which is why "display-line-numbers-number-width" gives
me nausea.

I didn't realize that this is a minor-mode global
function.

Emacs convention says that the names of global
symbols (such as this) should start with either
the mode name OR an abbreviation.

The mode name `display-line-numbers' (mode) is
long enough to deserve an abbreviation for use
as prefix.  Please consider coming up with one.

Maybe something like `linenum-' or `line-number-'.

In that case, this function could be called just
`linenum-width' or `linenum-number-width'.

Hi:

I have tried the quick solution Stefan proposed to this but there are
still limitations when the number column width change and some
others when resizing the window. Does anyone has a way to improve
this?

I think that this must be simple enough to fix quickly in order to not
pass this to emacs 27.

On the other hand I wanted to ask if new changes like dfci must be
disabled in term-mode by default or we let that configuration to the
user?

You can see the various solutions in tabulated-list.el.  I wrote them
because features like package.el need to react to the changing width
of the line numbers.

In addition to the change in the line numbers display width due to
scrolling, there are changes due to resizing the default font.

This is a different issue, unrelated to this bug report.  Let's
discuss it separately, probably on emacs-devel.

Thanks.

Hi Eli:

I see that, but what about when the window width changes? Are there any
hook we ca use?

Window width changes are unrelated to line numbers, right?

Is window-size-change-functions what you want?

No, the issue is not the same.  When a window is resized, it is
completely redrawn, and as part of that the line numbers are
recalculated and redisplayed.  That's because line-number display is
an inherent part of redisplay.

So is window-size-change-functions what you need to use to hook into
the size changes?

Hi:

I don't have too much time to be looking into this. But actually one of
the issues I had with the Stefan's solution is that sometimes I get:

Error adjusting window size: (wrong-type-argument wholenump 78.0)

Actually very often.

On the other hand, I am not sure that the fix will be needed in
lisp/window.el as it may affect many other things around.

Maybe we need the change in term.el itself as it seems to be the only
one with the issue. Otherwise the fix you made for tabulated-list.el
will be needed as a function in some other place we can access from
term-mode.

Could you please give a look into it?

Yes I suppose it is. But I have not clear how to use it :(.

Again,
Could you please give a look into it?
Please.

Look at what? at fixing term.el myself in this case?  Or something
else?

At least if the fix should be in term.el or in window.el like the one
proposed by Stefan.

The lisp side is too high level, and I don't want to waste time
reinventing the wheel.

I tried this patch in Emacs 28, and it didn't seem to help much.

To test

emacs -Q
M-x global-display-line-numbers-mode RET
M-x term RET RET
emacs -Q -nw

Note wrapped mode line of the inner Emacs.

(This works fine if display-line-numbers-mode is not on.)

Not even if you call line-number-display-width with arg of 'columns'?

Does it help to set COLUMNS in the environment to something like 76
before starting "M-x term"?  If it does, that would at least tell us
the columns are the cause of the problem.

Yes, this works -- the Emacs-in-Emacs displays perfectly with this patch:
