4.7.2 What to do when the window is resized

These options allow you to control what happens when the user tries to resize the PuTTY window using its window furniture.

There are four options here:

• ‘Change the number of rows and columns’: the font size will not change. (This is the default.)
• ‘Change the size of the font’: the number of rows and columns in the terminal will stay the same, and the font size will change.
• ‘Change font size when maximised’: when the window is resized, the number of rows and columns will change, except when the window is maximised (or restored), when the font size will change. (In this mode, holding down the Alt key while resizing will also cause the font size to change.)
• ‘Forbid resizing completely’: the terminal will refuse to be resized at all.
