Version: 2.1 (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: G++ OS: Linux Searching has a few repeatable issues, just tested today with r784131. You can see it by the following: 1) Output a large amount of text in a window...get a decent amount of text in the scrollback. 2) Go to Scrollback->Search Output 3) If you type a search term in it will color that search term everywhere it appears, however the highlighted bar will be in a place that bears no relation to that actual term. Pressing "Next" simply moves the highlighted line down one, it doesn't actually move to the next search term (it seems that maybe it moves to the next line in a multi-line block of output that contains that term, but not only to just the lines that contain that term). 4) Open up a new tab. 5) Switch back to the original tab, and it will have gone back to the original, non-matching line that it was at before, instead of staying where it was.
The problem is wrapped lines. Konsole searches the history in blocks of 10K bytes of text for performance. When it has identified a match within a search block it attempts to work out the line number by counting occurrences of new line characters in the block. This produces the wrong result when wrapped lines are present because then there is a mismatch between lines in the search buffer and lines of text on the terminal display.
SVN commit 791703 by knight: BUG: 159096 ('Find Next' does not always move to correct line) Squashed commit of the following: commit 17bd4aee3b20b3d36e0891dfd516d986430133c2 Author: Robert Knight <robertknight@gmail.com> Date: Sun Mar 30 03:39:07 2008 +0100 Use a list of integers rather than a bitmap to record the character positions of new lines. This allows for empty lines in the buffer which means that multiple lines may start at the same character position. commit d8ee8002f6ee87257f70f94e1a77a44f668617d9 Author: Robert Knight <robertknight@gmail.com> Date: Sun Mar 30 03:22:24 2008 +0100 Compute the line index of a match found during output search more accurately. Add a method to record the positions of new lines within the output stream to TerminalCharacterDecoder and use that in SearchHistoryTask to count the number of lines offset from the start of the current block. Unlike the previous method this works when there are wrapped lines in the output.
