It would be great if konsole was able to ignore the last line(s) when checking for activity.

I usually have several tabs open in konsole, with byobu/screen sessions running in many of them. My byobu setting have the current time and other stuff in the last line, which continuously updates. This leads to every tab being highlighted all the time, which counters the activity monitoring purpose.

I could imagine a setting to disregard the first and/or last N lines for activity monitoring. It could be presented to the user as a string field, where page-range like expressions could be entered. E.g. "-2:-1,1,4-6" would ignore the last two lines, the first line and lines 4 to 6.

Reproducible: Didn't try

This is asking a bit much for a  terminal program.  It would not be trivial to implement and I'm not sure it is even a good idea.
Perhaps you could split the views and have the activity in just a single tab with the time/etc in another.
