>Description:
The libcurses function wresize() refuses to resize a pad beyond the
bounds of the screen, even if the pad is already bigger than the
screen.

This behavior is strange and inconsistent with ncurses.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
The wresize() function should check if the window is actually a pad
before applying screen size limits.
