Kate Devs,

    In kate after using the terminal window and then hiding the terminal window, when your show the terminal window again, the scrollback is truncated at 18 characters. Here are two screenshots that clearly illustrate the problem.

    In the first, I have opened the terminal window and created a screen width ruler showing the characters that are viewable in the terminal window. Then I close terminal to make a quick edit.

    As shown in the second screenshot, when I show the terminal again, all the existing text in the terminal window has been truncated to 18 characters. Bummer.

    That's the bug. Let me know if I can send you anything else or test it in other ways. Thanks.

Terminal bug in displaying

I have a bug with the terminal too. I don't know if it's the same.

There's not always a return character after a command, and after few commands the cursor is not positioned at the end of the terminal in a new empty line, but at the begining of a previous command line. See attached screen shot. I just opened few files in /var subdirectories and then displayed the terminal.

Often I must clear the terminal screen to can use it.

Terminal bug 2

I have a lot of bugs with the terminal. In this screen shot, we see that in the last line, there's few characters of a previous command.

Terminal bug 3

This screen shot is the best. :) I circled in blue the last command (the cursor was positioned this) and the result of the command is in pink. There's a mix of new commands, previous commands, results of commands, return characters (or not)...

It's not possible to use the terminal without clear the screen very often.
