Description
Hi
I am running colortool.exe in cmd.exe (Microsoft Windows [Version 6.3.9600] Win 8.1 64bit OS) and every time I run it the Window Size reduces by one column (the rows and the Sceen Buffer Size stay the same).
Is this an "off by one" error?
It is important to me as I would like to call colortool from Textadept-curses.exe; once at load and once at quit.
Please accept apologies if this is a known bug.
Kind Regards Gavin

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by running colortool.exe repeatedly from cmd.exe on the reported Windows setup, then compare the window width with the screen buffer size after each invocation. Done means repeated calls no longer reduce the window by one column, while the row and buffer dimensions remain unchanged.
