Description Luca Weiss 2016-10-14 13:56:36 UTC 
See "Steps to Reproduce" and "Summary"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on an open terminal window
2. Select "Adjust Scrollback"
3. Set the "Fixed size scrollback" to anything other than 1000 lines and click "OK"
4. It'll still be 1000 lines the next time you open and it doesn't apply the size either

Actual Results:  
The scrollback size didn't save

Expected Results:  
The scrollback size should save
Comment 1 Kurt Hindenburg 2017-01-28 22:30:22 UTC 
correct - did you catch the top line saying "any adjustments are only temporary to this session"?

Use Edit Profile->Scrolling
Comment 2 Luca Weiss 2017-01-28 23:30:05 UTC 
I didn't mean that. I meant that the popup "Adjust Scrollback" always has "1000 lines" in the input field regardless what you set earlier.
Comment 3 Kurt Hindenburg 2017-01-29 00:52:27 UTC 
OK, thanks I totally misread this.  Have you upgraded to a more recent version?  It should be fixed in 16.12 or later.
Comment 4 Luca Weiss 2017-01-29 10:23:59 UTC 
I am running 16.12.1 at the moment and still experience this bug.
Comment 5 Christoph Feck 2017-02-01 00:51:37 UTC 
I can reproduce using the steps from comment #0 on master.

I set a very small fixed size, but the current session still uses what was configured in the global settings and happily recorded far more lines than I had temporarily set.
Comment 6 Alex Hermann 2017-02-09 13:10:31 UTC 
I see the same on 16.12.0. I see that the size set in the profile is also ignored. No matter where i change the scrollback size (profile or session), it is always forced (back) at 1000 lines.
Comment 7 Kurt Hindenburg 2018-03-08 14:59:47 UTC 
I can't reproduce on the last versions.  Anyone else try 17.12.x or master?
Comment 8 Alex Hermann 2018-03-08 17:48:45 UTC 
I can still reproduce on 17.08.3.


Behaviour has somewhat changed though. The entered value seems to be used for the history, but opening the dialog again will show the default of 1000 again instead of the current value.
Comment 9 Kurt Hindenburg 2018-03-11 22:57:47 UTC 
I recall fixing this - it doesn't happen w/ latest version.
