Beware that: - The scrollback contents need to reside somewhere. Currently it's on disk (compressed as of 0.40, but still). We shouldn't surprise users by filling up their disks.
- Content rewrapping on resize starts to become noticably slow at around 100.000 lines of scrollback. IMO scrollback buffer is a conveniece feature, not something you should heavily rely on to be present under all circumstances. If you're running a command that you expect to produce lot of output and you do need the whole output, you should redirect that to a file. That being said, you can increase it for yourself even to infinite and deal with the drawbacks. Given these drawbacks, I don't think the default should be bigger than 10.000 - 50.000-ish. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1439704 Title: increase default scrollback limit To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1439704/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
