Bug #: 33121
           Summary: wineconsole: Ignores height/width window size
                    specified in program's external configuration file
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.25

Program spawned in wineconsole at default 80 x 25 resolution
I'm using wineconsole to run a console-based Windows program (with
--backend=user).  Wineconsole always opens the program in an 80 x 25 sized
window.  Resizing this window via the mouse or right-click configuration area
expands the window size, but not the buffer size of the console program.  The
newly-expanded area is black (see screenshot attachment).  These settings are
also not saved upon restarting the program.  This is the same or very similar
bug to 30193 (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30193).
In Windows, the program detects the maximum width and height of the current
display resolution and provides options within the program to modify the height
and width.  When using wineconsole, the program only detects the 80 x 25 buffer
it is spawned in.
Also, in Windows, the program stores the height and width settings in an
external configuration file, so that upon restarting the program, the correct
window/buffer size is displayed.  Wineconsole ignores these settings in favour
of an 80 x 25 or lower resolution.
I note in Wine's source code that <source>/server/console.c has hard-coded
values of 80 and 25 for the window and screen buffers. This is the default
command prompt window size used in Windows.  Also,
<source>/programs/wineconsole/registry.c sets the default window/buffer values
for new wineconsole-based programs.
Modifying <source>/programs/wineconsole/registry.c, recompiling and running
'wineconsole cmd' displays the Windows command prompt in the specified windows
size.  This modification has no effect on my console-based program, which is
always displayed at 80 x 25.
Modifying <source>/server/console.c (and recompiling) also fails to have the
desired effect.  The program's window is larger, but the program itself is
still rendered at 80 x 25. The surrounding area is black, as noted above.
It is as though wineconsole is ignoring or overriding the program's external
configuration file.
