Bug 462556

SUMMARY

Konsole's default scrollback fixed size is currently set to 1000 lines.

Personally I always have to increase that number to perform just mundane tasks like updating the system at the CLI and keep track of what happened. Anecdotally I heard the same from others.

It seems that 1000 is the default for 15 years now [1]. Considering the increase of available, physical RAM over the last 15 years maybe doubling the default could offer a considerable UX-benefit while not be too taxing on contemporary system?

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole on the default profile or create a new profile

OBSERVED RESULT

Profile -> Scrolling -> Scollback -> Fixed size: is set to 1000 lines

EXPECTED RESULT

Profile -> Scrolling -> Scollback -> Fixed size: is set to 2000(+?) lines
