Description Louis Moureaux 2021-07-14 09:30:50 UTC 
SUMMARY

When the buffer contains a long line, resizing the terminal window takes several seconds.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole
2. Run the following to output a long line of text (change 10000 to something larger if your machine is very fast):

   python3 -c 'print([x for x in range(10000)])'

3. Resize the window

OBSERVED RESULT

Resizing the window takes seconds, even when the line is hidden from view.

EXPECTED RESULT

Resizing the window is instantaneous.

FWIW, I used:
$ git fetch --all
$ git tag --contains 2aa61bb9943c4e00d1764fa45f2c210cc92a41de
v21.07.80

(IIRC I picked the tip about --contains from somewhere on the KDE mailing lists, I think it was Aleix on plasma-devel, handy tip :)).
