Bug ID: 447820 Summary: Konsole lost the ability to copy after failing to save more than 10,129,500 lines of an unlimited scrollback session Product: konsole Version: 21.12.0 Platform: Compiled Sources OS: FreeBSD Status: REPORTED Severity: major Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org Reporter: grahamper...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 145039 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=145039&action=edit Screenshot of the point where I realised that the Edit menu was no longer fully functional SUMMARY An unusually large number of lines, so I'm not entirely surprised by the failure to save, however: * loss of the ability to copy, in this situation, is potentially major – it seems that 'unlimited' is not truly without limitations. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. set scrollback to unlimited 2. run a command that might (unexpectedly) generate tens of millions of lines of output 3. File menu 4. Save Output As... OBSERVED RESULT 5. with a different tab (or different application), tail the saved file 6. the tail of what was saved does not match the tail of what is on screen * i.e. _silent failure_ to save the session in its entirety 7. in the tab from which _partial_ output was saved, aim to copy part of what was not saved * select followed by Control-Shift-C results in loss of selection and progression to the next line, as if Return or Enter was keyed * in the Edit menu, the Copy option is greyed out. EXPECTED RESULT 5. successful save, of the session in its entirety, and no loss of functionality * the ability to copy is essential. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: FreeBSD 14.0 KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.89.0 Qt Version: 5.15.2 Kernel Version: 14.0-CURRENT (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Memory: 15.9 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD TURKS % pkg info -x konsole konsole-21.12.0_1 % date ; freebsd-version -kru Sun 2 Jan 2022 10:40:40 GMT 14.0-CURRENT 14.0-CURRENT 14.0-CURRENT % uname -aKU FreeBSD mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT #118 main-n251923-4bae154fe8c: Sat Dec 25 08:03:37 GMT 2021 root@mowa219-gjp4-8570p-freebsd:/usr/obj/usr/src/amd64.amd64/sys/GENERIC-NODEBUG amd64 1400045 1400045 % ADDITIONAL INFORMATION In this case, the unexpectedly massive output resulted from a single run of: fsck -fy – for what should have been an empty UFS file system on a USB flash drive. Knowing that (previously) a bug had occurred at/around the time of creation of the file system, I did expect some nonsense within the output. I did not expect tens of millions of lines. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
