scrolling issue

[bruce]

Hi.

I've done something wrong. In test terminals, I can no longer seem to
have unlimited scrolling. I run a test script, that should generate
lots of line/output.

For some reason, the output seems to only display the latest X lines
(havent counted them). But it appears less than 50.

I've looked in the "Terminal" menu, and unlimited scrolling is checked.

I've tried the usual reset -- reset/clear etc.

Looking over diff 'net sites hasn't gotten the 'aha' moment.

Any thoughts

thanks

This is the default in the new simple console, as scrollback was
removed from the kernel. Are you perhaps doing this in a console
(Ctrl-Alt-[F1-F6])? I have no problems with scrollback in the terminals
in my LXDE or LXQT desktops. What desktop are you using?  What
terminal?  Does another terminal program work?
