Created attachment 48119 [details] Completely empty scrollback devoid of prompt, resulting after hitting Ctrl+Alt+X Version: 2.9.6 (using Devel) OS: Linux Kubuntu lucid, running KDE 4.4.85 (4.5 beta 2). Yakuake package version 2.9.6-1ubuntu1 from lucid universe. Qt4 packages are version 4:4.7.0~beta1+git20100522-0ubuntu1~lucid1~ppa1 from kubuntu-ppa/beta. Whenever I clear scrollback and reset a terminal, by hitting Ctrl+Alt+X or selecting it in the right-click context menu, the screen is cleared but no new prompt is offered. If I hit Enter it moves to a new line and properly presents a prompt, now on the second line of the new scrollback. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Yakuake 2. Fill scrollback a bit, such as by listing a directory 3. Clear scrollback and reset by hitting Ctrl+Alt+X4 Actual Results: 4. Results in an empty screen Expected Results: 4. A new prompt should be offered in the new scrollback While the Yakuake version has obviously remained 2.6.1, I think this was introduced when I installed 4.4.85 and the Qt4 4.7.0 beta packages.
The terminal area is provided by Konsole, reassigning.
Hello, Which shell are you using? Redrawing the prompt after clearing and resetting scrollback is done via a hack that works with bash but is known not to work with some other shells (eg. zsh). If you care to investigate a suitable method for forcing the shell to redraw the prompt that works with the shell you are using and preferably others as well, let us know and it can be implemented.
I have the same problem with KDE 4.5-RC1 and the bash shell (version 4.1.7), so I'd say that either the source of the problem isn't the kind of shell used or the hack used to force the shell to redraw the prompt doesn't work with this version of bash.
I've noticed that it is broken in trunk as well with bash.
Same problem here. This happened after updating from KDE 4.4.4 to KDE 4.5 RC1 a while back, and it still happens with RC2. I did not change the version of bash (4.1_p7).
Still a problem with KDE 4.5.3 :-/
Still problem with KDE 4.5.85 :(
Still happens with 4.5.90 (RC 1).
Issue still there with KDE 4.6 final.
