Do you know if you have unlimited scrollbacK?  If so, after 2GB of scrollback, Konsole behaves badly.

Comment 2 Hello71 2017-02-13 23:49:22 UTC

No, I set limited scrollback due to the excessively inefficient usage of RAM. Anyways, I cut it off after few hundred thousand, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Comment 3 Egmont Koblinger 2017-02-14 16:02:26 UTC

I can reproduce it in about 1 out of 10 attempts.

Comment 4 Egmont Koblinger 2017-02-14 16:04:47 UTC

Scrollback shouldn't matter (Kurt: note the '\r' in the output, this script just overwrites the number at a fixed location).

Comment 5 Kurt Hindenburg 2017-02-14 16:15:37 UTC

I wonder if this is the same as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372991 - that one is really confusing

Comment 6 Egmont Koblinger 2017-02-14 16:32:46 UTC

Yeah they do sound the same.
