Arch Linux

Yes, I can kinda replicate in a fresh Xfce4 VM. Launching urxvt results in a small terminal window. Maximizing that window then results in the prompt being half way down the window. Repeating procedure under 9.30 results in prompt at the top of the window as expected. Have you reported upstream?

same happen on my mashines after starting a new Window.
both are BSPWM driven.

Replicated on I3WM windows manager.
rxvt-unicode-9.30-1 and below: prompt at the top,
rxvt-unicode-9.31-1: prompt at the middle

I can't find appropriate changelog entry, but from the git log it seems that in version 9.31 of rxvt-unicode Marc Lehmann decided to move some lines-rewrap functionality under the ENABLE_FRILLS flag, and slightly updated the related algorithm. Compiling rxvt-unicode with --enable-frills doesn't fix the issue, so it looks like there is a problem with updated algorithm.

Here is a patch for svntogit-community packages/rxvt-unicode branch trunk directory to make a rxvt-unicode package with screen.C changes reverted to 9.30 (this patch contains the screen.C diff for 9.30..9.31 to make a clear vision on changes introduced in 9.31).

Same issue on dwm, and fixed by patch by eigrad, thanks!

Sorry, just wanted to add that the posted solution in linked report by Toolybird did work also, so patching out line 397 from src/screen.C was enough simply.

There was some info in June from Marc on this behavior - http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/2023q2/002662.html.

For me it's still unclear how this should be solved, I continue to stay with 9.31 screen.C changes reverted.

Interesting read thanks. Personally I have never seen this happening before this regression talked about here(as link infer), in the decade+ I used this package on arch - only used tiling VMs though, maybe related dunno. I just updated to recheck/post, and same fix worked on newest v9.31-4 i.e. patching out line 397 from src/screen.C, like stated in the posted solution in linked report by Toolybird(though states line 410 there, but regardless). Thanks in advance.

The geometry hac^H^H^H workaround mentioned in the wiki [1] also works (in some circumstances)

Thank you so much Toolybird, that works perfectly for me on dwm, seemingly always i.e. just the example line from your wiki link, and i'm sorry for not finding firstly myself. Thanks!

I have 9.31-4 installed, with i3 window manager. Also in ~/XResources.d/urxvt-unicode added: URxvt.geometry: 400x400.
When opening a new terminal with i3 shortcut, the cursor is on top. Only when moving the window to the right then below, the cursor stays in the middle. The same issue as before.
