[New-bugs-announce] [issue35060] subprocess output seems to depend on size of terminal screen

New submission from Edward Pratt <epratt8181 at gmail.com>:

I am looking for a string inside of a process, and it seems that the output of the check_output command depends on the screen size of the terminal I run the code in. 

Here I ran the code with a normal screen resolution:
>>> result = subprocess.check_output(['ps', 'aux']).decode('ascii', errors='ignore')
>>> 'app-id' in result
False
 
Then I zoom out to the point where I can barely read the text on the screen, and this is the output I get:
>>> result = subprocess.check_output(['ps', 'aux']).decode('ascii', errors='ignore')
>>> 'app-id' in result
True
