I suppose that's reasonable but not a bug IMHO - changed to wish.

Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2019-09-30 00:01:04 UTC

Since Konsole cannot reflow text, a newly appearing scrollbar would cover content.

Currently, Konsole can reflow text.

You can hide the scrollbar if you want.  We try to not cause resizing of content so this is a minor concern.
