"The way urxvt works in this case that it just positions the cursor to the top row and then just erases everything below that point. This means you lose valuable lines from the scrollback. Example: type "seq 1000", press ctr-L. Now you won't see the last lines of the command's output!" -- this is exactly what is happening in my case. I got that from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129302 But, the patch noted in that discussion is not helping. Anyway, just a heads-up if anyone is interested.
