Description Alain Knaff 2023-06-17 15:04:39 UTC
Since upgrading to Debian 12, konsole has an extra "scrollbar" at the left hand side. It's a thin purple line, it moves up when scrolling up, and down when scrolling down, but by a random amount. Which means it will be stuck near the top even long before reaching the top of the scrollback buffer. It doesn't seem to follow the "application style" setting either.

The normal scrollbar at the right hand side is there too, behaves normally, and follows application style.

Is this intentional, or is it a graphics artifact?

None.

It’s an intended behavior that you can disable if you wish - that extra bar
is just telling you the amount of text that’s entering on the stdout,
really useful for long running processes.

It also helps when scrolling because it will tell you exactly the amount of
text you scrolled (and when the output is similar, it’s hard to guess
“where you at”)

So:
1 - it’s intended to help visualization
2 - you can disable on preferences if you don’t like it

Thanks for your fast reply... but where exactly can I disable this extra scrollbar?

Again, not a scrollabar.
I’m not near the computer so it would be hard for me to say, but I’m sure
it’s on preferences.

It's under profile configuration, on "Scrolling → Highlighting: → Highlight the lines coming into view"
