Hi guys,

The same entries and their outputs on randomly larger (column-wise) terminal:
$ ps -ax |less
  PID  TT  STAT       TIME COMMAND
...
 1891  ??  Is      0:00.43 sendmail: Queue runner at 00:30:00 for /var/spool/clie
ntmqueue (sendmail)
 1897  ??  Ss      0:03.56 /usr/sbin/cron -s
...

$ ps -aux |less
USER         PID  %CPU %MEM    VSZ    RSS  TT  STAT STARTED       TIME COMMAND
...
smmsp       1891   0.0  0.1  11324   2404  ??  Is   Thu12PM    0:00.43 sendmai
l: Queue runner at 00:30:00 for /var/spool/client
root        1897   0.0  0.1   9644   1208  ??  Is   Thu12PM    0:03.56 /usr/sb
in/cron -s
...
 
I think the current application of terminal window size is incorrect.

command1 | command2

Right now it is:
command1 -> fd (stdout) -> win size "filter" -> | -> display
It should be:
command1 -> fd (stdout) -> | -> win size "filter" -> display
