Yeah, this is a known issue.
Originally, when Vip was written to use Ncurses, it was notified when the
terminal changed in 'getch':
(de getch ()
(loop
(curses "wget_wch" NIL (: ptr) '(*Chr (4 . I)))
(NIL (= 410 *Chr) # KEY_RESIZE
(setq *Chr (unless (= 27 *Chr) (char *Chr))) )
(setq
*Lines (car (struct "LINES" '(I)))
*Columns (car (struct "COLS" '(I))) )
(eqwin) ) )
Whenever Vip received a SIGWINCH signal, the above 'setq' was triggered.
Now, as Vip does not use Ncurses any longer, the above does not work. The
PicoLisp core does not handle SIGWINCH.
I avoid this situation by either not changing the terminal, or by simply
restarting Vip ;)

Good.

'repaint' might be the right place, but it is called very often. Not sure if it
slows everything down too much. Also, I would recommend 'eqwin' as in the
example above, to re-calculate the window sizes.
I would recommend to install it into a function key handler. It just needs in
~/.pil/viprc
(de *F12
(in '(stty size)
(setq *Lines (read) *Columns (read)) )
(eqwin) )
