Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc 4.x OS: Linux This is not an issue with konsole or a specific bug; I just couldn't find an informational category to place it in. I know that a lot of people have been wondering about this when trying to use screen + konsole - and bugs.kde.org is also the first place I went to when experiencing the same problem - only to find no related bugs. The issue is related to konsole scrollback not saving history and screen's alternate screen. I had found this post from Adam Lazur on the screen list and I believe it will be useful to others: -- I suspect what you're describing is an effect of alternate screen [1] support in the terminal emulator that you are running screen [2] within (xterm, konsole, something-else-that-isnt-xterm-but-sets-TERM=xterm ?). Try adding the following to your screenrc: # Do not use xterms alternate window buffer (add lines to scrollback bfr) termcapinfo xterm|xterms|xs ti=\E7\E[?47l -- Adam Lazur, Cluster Monkey [1] overloading of the word screen makes this confusing, this usage does not mean screen the program [2] screen the progam
If you'd like to submit an addition to the konsole documentation for this, you can send it to kde-doc-english@kde.org . Filing a bug for something that isn't a bug is probably a bad idea.
Agreed. I stated this at the top of the bug, but the reason I placed it into the bug database was so that other people doing searches on the same subject, which I did first thing, would come across the solution quickly rather than get unrightfully frustrated at konsole due to lack of answers. I'll forward it to someone who can integrate it into documentation. -cl On Thu, Mar 16, 2006 at 04:11:14PM -0000, Philip Rodrigues wrote: [bugs.kde.org quoted mail]
