Re: patch: psql - enforce constant width of last column

Hi Pavel,

I have been trying to reproduce the case of badly displaying last columns
of a query result-set. I played around with the legal values for psql
border variable but not able to find a case where last columns are badly
displayed. Can you please share an example that I can use to reproduce this
problem. I will try out your patch once I am able to reproduce the problem.

Thanks,
