Description Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2017-02-13 19:51:30 UTC

I have enabled unlimited scrollback in terminals, however, when I press "clear scrollback and reset", I would expect the history file to be truncated to 0, instead it remains huge.

This means that if a command (normally mpv on a damaged file) prints an abnormally large amount of output, I need to close the terminal to free up that file, since it isn't deleted when clearing the scrollback.

Can you please truncate the file too?

It is actually deleted - are you sure the remaining file is not from another konsole tab?

Hm, I have been having this issue for a while on yakuake, but I can't seem to reproduce. I'll close this and make a new one if it happens again.
