I have not noticed this behaviour from konsole.

But it is common for this to happen if:

- You are running in tmux or screen

- You are using a certain pager

- The command you ran is displaying output in a pager

I wonder if it might be one of those.

To test for the last two scenarios, For example, you could try:

- command (just on its own)

- PAGER=cat command (this will output everything without pausing)

PAGER=less or PAGER=more might produce behaviour closer to what you want.  My personal favourite is PAGER="less -REX"

Or, it could be none of those situations, and truly a problem with konsole!

Are you able to still reproduce this behaviour? I haven't noticed any blank/black lines in my konsole from regular use.
