Bug#771244: Re[2]: bash 4.3: Clear Scrollback and Reset (Ctrl-Shift-X) in konsole stopped to work as expected when upgrading from upstream bash 4.2 to upstream bash 4.3

Someone else already provided a suitable answer. Continuing this conversation is not productive; it's quickly reaching dead horse territory. You might want to check out the latest devel branch snapshot, though. It works! Thanks a lot. Bug seems to be fixed in

Please stop mischaracterizing the issue. It's not a bug: it's a case of konsole's mismatched expectations. Since the mechanism it uses is not documented, and relies on something in readline that is not documented, it can't fairly be called a bug. Should long text line move when user changes

No. You have missed the point. The point is that the secret mechanism that konsole used to use no longer works. It didn't rely on documented behavior; it relied on a side effect of the (flawed) readline-6.2 implementation. It can't really be called a bug. Okey, so, Chet, what will you say

Doesn't seem like a bug to me. You asked your terminal emulator to clear the screen. It did so. Now you complain that it's too clean :) When I type Ctrl-L, screen clears, and prompt appears. Ctrl-Shift-X should work the same and it should clear scrollback additionally. bash 4.3 + konsole behavior

There are only a couple of ways to do this, so even though the mechanism konsole uses is undocumented, we can try to figure it out. There are two possibilities: inject a character into the input stream, or send a signal to the foreground process group. I tested this. This is not some symbol in

Also, is there somewhere some real revision control system with bash sources? http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git appears to be incomplete: git bisect shows that the problem is in http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/bash.git/commit/?id=ac50fbac377e32b98d2de396f016ea81e8ee9961 , but
