Description Noé Rubinstein 2015-12-04 16:40:19 UTC
Currently, Konsole offers three options in the "Scrolling" setting:
* No scrollback
* Fixed size scrollback
* Unlimited scrollback

The "unlimited scrollback" can sometimes fill up your FS when running programs that output very large quantities of text (such as a build log for large software). However, the "fixed size" scrollback is configurable only up to 100000 lines, which is sometimes not enough.

I would like to be able to configure at least 10 times more scrollback.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click your terminal
2. Click "Edit current profile"
3. Go to tab "Scrolling"
4. Select "Fixed size scrollback"
5. Input "1000000" (one million) in the text field

Actual Results:  
The scrollback size is 100 000 (a hundred thousands)

Expected Results:  
The scrollback size is 1 000 000 (one million)

Git commit 44d4ed047c58cf636c3df317551cacf1d6b99e48 by Kurt Hindenburg.

Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'.

Set maximum buffer scrollback to 1,000,000

Perhaps a note mentioning that this type of scrollback is held in
memory.  Regardless, allow up to 1 million lines.
