Version: 2.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.3) OS: Linux Using the reset command only clears the terminal. Is it wrong to think the desired output of reset is the same as choosing Scrollback -> Clear scrollback & Reset Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Execute 'reset' on the command line Actual Results: Scrollback clears. Expected Results: Scrollback clears and resets.
> Steps to Reproduce: > Execute 'reset' on the command line > Actual Results: > Scrollback clears. I don't see this. The expected behavior when typing 'reset' on the command line is that the state of the terminal emulation is reset but the scrollback remains - which is what I see.
Hmm. I thought the purpose of reset was to remove the ScrollBack buffer from the terminal.

No. The terminal emulator has a set of state information - such as the background/foreground colours, the position of the cursor, whether mouse input is enabled and what effect some of the keys have. 'reset' puts all this back to the state of the terminal when it was first started. The main reason you'd have to use reset is if the terminal starts behaving strangely.
