Hi,
Friends pointed me out to older bugs reports of the quite same problem
with libvte. Situation has changed since but it seems kept in the wrong
choices to me... Problems are there since 09/2009 (vte-0.21.6).

It is pointing out that the suggestion I made in previous comment was
also made in 2015 and has drawbacks : [...] it is inherited by all child
processed launched inside the terminal which is probably not what they want.

Someone pointed out inhttps://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8183:
While setting TMPDIR to a shm or tmpfs based location is a nice workaround for
those who definitely want their scrollback in memory, it is cumbersome: it is
inherited by all child processed launched inside the terminal which is probably
not what they want. Moreover, it's not feasible to set this in some global
environment definition file.
For these people it would be convenient to support VTETMPDIR - if defined, it
would take precedence over the standard tmp dir locations.
Regards,
