Description Bart Verwilst 2003-12-19 15:14:08 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.94)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:          Linux

When you maximize konsole, then type a long string, 2 lines or so, at the promp, then un-maximize it, then maximize again, the text is all screwed up at the end..
Comment 1 Thiago Macieira 2003-12-19 17:36:10 UTC
Ah, I see. Linebreaks are inserted so that the contents look like what they did unmaximised.
Comment 2 Bart Verwilst 2004-05-11 13:36:06 UTC
Still happens in KDE 3.2.x..
Comment 3 Bart Verwilst 2004-12-23 00:07:58 UTC

Comment 4 Bart Verwilst 2005-02-09 15:18:13 UTC
Any news on this?
Comment 5 Robert Knight 2006-08-07 15:09:11 UTC
Hello,

In KDE 3.5.x the problem is that when you resize to maximize again, Konsole doesn't clear the space that used to be occupied by the characters when the window was smaller (since the same amount of text wraps onto more lines when the window is smaller).

I cannot see any other issues here.

Upon further inspection this seems to be an issue with only certain shells.  This problem does not appear for me when using zsh, it does appear in Bash and the plain old sh shell.

This is problem is also visible in xterm and gnome-terminal. 
Comment 7 Robert Knight 2007-02-04 04:13:06 UTC
Closing as I believe this to be an issue with the shell itself rather than Konsole.

Hello 
I am using Fedora Core 8 64bit version, running KDE release 3.5.9-5.fc8 Fedora
The problem is when you maximize or restore the "konsole emulator" it just removes the line which was there earlier.. I will explain this with an example.
I was reading help using command "whatsis dhclient" in maximize mode.. here is what it will give you when you type it on the Konsole.


[root@localhost ~]# whatis dhclient
dhclient             (8)  - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client
dhclient.conf [dhclient] (5)  - DHCP client configuration file..... etc etc
[root@localhost ~]#

but when you restore and again maximize the Konsole emulator window here's what you will see

[root@localhost ~]# whatis dhclient
dhclient             (8)  - Dynamic Host Configuration Prot *
dhclient.conf [dhclient] (5)  - DHCP client configuration f *
dhclient.leases [dhclient] (5)  - DHCP client lease databas *
dhclient            (rpm) - Provides the dhclient ISC DHCP  *
dhclient-script      (8)  - DHCP client network configurati *
[root@localhost ~]#

[*] mark indicates that the text which was there earlier has disappeared totally, leaving rest of the matter unreadable. 

I haven't tried the same on other systems, so please guide me
Thank you.

This is a known limitation of KDE 3 I'm afraid.  It is fixed in KDE 4.
