Unlimited scrollback ought to be only limited by the free disk space on /tmp. That, however, is not the case. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Settings > Edit current profile > Scrolling > Unlimited scrollback 2. seq 25000000| xargs 3. Scroll up Actual Results: The scroll buffer is empty. Expected Results: A non-empty scroll buffer
I believe this is hitting the 2GB bug *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 146483 ***
But my output is only 213 MB (not 2 GB): $ seq 25000000| xargs|wc -c 213888897
The 2GB is the file size of the scrollback/history - there is a lot of overhead
