ipython scrambled terminal, after resizing window

Viewed 96

I run ipython(2) in a terminal (debian stable). After resizing the window with the mouse, the printouts of ipython are annoyingly meesed up, eg:

  • if one input line is too long, instead of starting a new line, the first line is overwritten
  • calling a command help (eg by plot?), the page is broken, part is missing when scrolling it

Something probably related is here, and discussed here.

I tried without success: installing (by pip) readline and/or gnureadline; the !clear command in ipython; many terminal emulators (the qt ipython console doesn't have this problem), and tmux.

Do you know a possible solution / workaround to have ipython in a clean re-sizable terminal window?

EDIT: the problem is not there in ipython3 (3.5.3)
