--- Comment #5 from Ian Binnie bugzilla.j.iansemail@spamgourmet.com 2008-09-17 03:47:37 --- I thought it would be simple to write a function to replace GetLargestConsoleWindowSize.
This is similar to the code above, but using SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETWORKAREA ...) to get the Work Area on primary monitor, excluding taskbar (This works under Windows.)
This works OK the first time it is called, but I noticed the calculated size of the largest possible console window keeps growing until it crashes.
It seems that Wine does not keep the font constant, but reduces the size. This can be also seen by attempting to modify the properties of the console.
I was running a test using wineconsole --backent=user
