In the PuTTY GUI, if you resize the terminal window (in the default mode which changes the number of rows and columns in the terminal), and then select Change Settings from the system menu, the width and height fields in the Window configuration pane should reflect the current window size.
In most cases this already worked. But one case where it fails is
if another application resizes the PuTTY window automatically, so that
PuTTY receives a single WM_SIZE
window message without
any of the other messages that normally surround WM_SIZE
during an interactive window resizing operation, such
as WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE
.
In particular, bare WM_SIZE
events of this kind are
sent by the 'FancyZones' tool included in Microsoft PowerToys. With
FancyZones enabled, you can Shift+drag a window to automatically
resize it to one of your configured 'zones' (regions of your screen
that you set up in a layout of your choice). This automated resize
operation would trigger the bug: the next time you selected Change
Settings, the window size would still reflect what it
was before FancyZones resized it, leading to confusion when
applying the changed settings.
