Thanks. There's a similar report in the Ubuntu bug tracker about 3.4. I will take a look, but this has always been a use case that tmux is not designed for. Do you really have a need for 10M lines of scrollback history in each window? Also, I'm curious. Is it better with an empty `status-right'? -- Romain Francoise <[email protected]> https://people.debian.org/~rfrancoise/
