If I run `screen` in konsole window, the scrollback is completely disabled - the scrollbar is grayed out, I cannot see text that already rolled out of the window, the search function does not work ... I've found an older bug #123643 dealing with this, but the suggested workaround does not work for me, and also I cannot find any mention about the issue in the current documentation at http://docs.kde.org/development/en/applications/konsole/index.html Also, it'd be nice if that could be fixed on a application level, rather than leaving it upon every single user to search for workaround and apply it on each and every machine under each user account where screen is run ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run `konsole` 2. in konsole, run `screen` 3. run some command with lot of output, e.g. `rpm -qa` on rpm based distro 4. try to see previous page of output by hitting Shift+PgUp 5. try to search in the output using Ctrl+Shift+F Actual Results: 4. does not work, you can see just the last page of output 5. does not work, the search bar pops up but finds nothing Expected Results: 4. last but one page of output is shown 5. the output will scroll to a place where the searched string is present and all occurences of the string are highlighted hm, I believe about ~1/2 year ago the scrollback in konsole had worked with screen, otherwise I'd report this earlier ...
Ideally, Konsole should make the screen buffer available when attaching.
