Bug ID: 384218 Summary: clear/^l shouldn't add empty lines to the scrollback buffer Product: konsole Version: unspecified Platform: Compiled Sources OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: history Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: rjvber...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Executing the `clear` command clears the current view and leaves the prompt/cursor at the top of the window, but also adds the remaining number of empty lines to the scrollback buffer. IOW, if you execute it when the cursor is already at the top of a view that's N lines high, you get N empty lines in the scrollback buffer. That's counterproductive. The clear manpage states that the command `clears your screen if this is possible, including its scrollback buffer (if the extended "E3" capability is defined). clear looks in the environment for the terminal type and then in the terminfo database to determine how to clear the screen`. I'm not certain we'd want the scrollback clearing but there must be a way to avoid the empty lines to it. FWIW, I use TERM=xterm, and I note that xterms (v297) behave as I'd expect (`clear` doesn't affect the scrollback buffer contents at all). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
