Use os.get_terminal_size as the primary

[wsxrdv]

The function shutil.get_terminal_size returns environment variables COLUMNS and LINES when those exist. But this information is stale after resizing the terminal. First try to retrieve from os.get_terminal_size and only after fall back to shutil.

Please review the following checklist.

• Docstrings on all new or modified functions / classes
• Updated documentation
• Updated CHANGELOG.md (where appropriate)

Previous version of src/textual/drivers/linux_driver.py had os.get_terminal_size but was changed by d1235e0 All other changes I found were directly adding the shutil version.

This change allows proper reactivity to resize on Ubuntu inside tmux. One can also test these changes using the following script while resizing:

import os import shutil import time while True: # os.get_terminal_size changes with resize # shutil.get_terminal_size uses env variables (is constant) print(f"{os.get_terminal_size() = } {shutil.get_terminal_size() = }") time.sleep(1)

The Rich project also uses os.get_terminal_size: https://github.com/Textualize/rich/blob/ea9d4db5d84b4e834979304e3053bf757daae322/rich/console.py#L1030

I tried to dig deeper:

• Debian 13 seems that neither COLUMNS nor LINES are present in Python os.environ and thus shutil is giving always the correct result.
• Jupyterlab shell with tmux run inside from a tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-gpu docker seems to have both COLUMNS and LINES in the os.environ and thus shutil gives the wrong result.
• Possible workaround (without changing textual) is removing COLUMNS and LINES from os.environ before starting the app:

for d in ["LINES", "COLUMNS"]: if d in os.environ: del os.environ[d]
