Description Richard Bos 2005-02-01 13:44:39 UTC

Version:           1.4.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

If the scroll area in konsole is altered using the escape sequence:
  ESC[12;24r

The escape sequence above sets the top of scroll area at line 12.  With other
words the lines are leaving konsole at line 12 instead of the top of
konsole.  Those lines are not stored in the konsole's history buffer...

Try it e.g. by echoing the underneath lines:
ESC[12;24r

Could console be changed to capture the lines in the history buffer in
case the scroll area is altered?

Hmmm, yes... interesting...

What is the purpose of using a modified scroll area?

Comment 2 Richard Bos 2005-02-07 09:19:19 UTC

To keep for example status information in top of the screen,
for example in the first 2 top lines, and have processing information
scrolling by.
