SUMMARY I use the "Enable Alternate Screen buffer scrolling" option in Konsole to be able to scroll using the mouse wheel when using "less". However, when the terminal is reset (using the "reset" command or by using the "Clear scrollback and reset" option of Konsole), the mouse wheel stops working. I have to go to the options, uncheck "alternate screen buffer scrolling" checkbox, click "apply", then check it again and "apply", at which point it starts working again. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Make sure "Enable Alternate Screen buffer scrolling" is enabled (right-click, "Edit current profile", "Mouse" tab.) 2. Type "man ls". You can scroll up/down with the mouse wheel. 3. Exit the manpage viewer and type "reset". 4. Type "man ls" again. You can no longer scroll using the mouse wheel. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Gentoo Linux AMD64 KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0 Qt Version: 5.11.3
Should be fixed by https://phabricator.kde.org/D17781
I forgot to say, thank you for finding a way to reproduce this issue, (I've been hit by it several times, and it was driving me up the wall).
The patch applies cleanly to Konsole 18.12.0 and fixes the issue. Thanks!
Git commit c9276130ac06f052f9251d8d67eaf45ff2f87708 by Kurt Hindenburg, on behalf of Ahmad Samir. Committed on 25/12/2018 at 01:41. Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'. Don't change alternate scrolling state after calling reset() Summary: Alternate Scrolling shouldn't be reset when calling resetModes(), this is to maintain the profile alternate scrolling property after reset() is called, otherwise calling reset() (or clear scrollback and reset) will always make alternate scrolling get disabled regardless of the respective profile property. Also this matches XTerm behavior. Test Plan: 1 - Open a new tab and make sure the alternate scrolling profile property is enabled 2 - Run less or any other application that uses the alternate screen, scrolling with the mouse should work 3 - Quit the previous application and execute `reset` 4 - Repeat 2, notice that now scrolling doesn't work After applying the patch, alternate scrolling mode is not changed after calling reset.
