Not Any More, so we're told. I hope they prove it.

Considering a resizable cmd with real copy/paste support is part of Windows 10, I'm cautiously optimistic.

I'll believe it when they let me resize the cmd window

Windows 10 command prompt will indeed let you resize the window. It will even re-flow the text already written, i.e. a long string written that flowed across several lines will also flow back into one line, once the window gets wide enough.

FINALLY! \o/

You have always been able to resize the cmd window, not sure what you mean here.

How were you able to do that? I was only able to change the height of it personnally, very annoying.

Vertically yes, but horizontally it's capped.

Open cmd window, left click on icon on left of cmd title bar, adjust window size in Defaults and Properties. This includes, height, width and buffer size.

Unlike every other window, where you can change the horizontal size by dragging.

It's a relic and I'm glad they're fixing it, but as with the browser they're only delivering changes because third-party software innovated them and it's making them look bad.

How is that a bad thing? Firefox was kinda stagnant before Chrome came around and took the performance throne, I don't see anyone criticizing Mozilla for that.
