Description:

Recently konsole had a strange behaviour and is filling the tmpfs (/tmp) with a huge history file. My scrollback was configured to be unlimited as it is for years. I tried to update my system and I noticed some error message at the installation of the kernel. I investigated and find that tmpfs was full. I removed the files in it and everything went back to normal (I finished the update properly) but the day after I got the same problem when doing normal operation. This time I looked a little bit more in the culprit and found that konsole had a nearly 8Gb history file! It never happen before so I am suspecting a new bug.
I am removing the "unlimited scrollback" for the time beeing.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

18.12.3-1

* config and/or log files etc.

unlimited scrollback

* link to upstream bug report, if any

That sounds like normal behavior to me, unlimited means unlimited. In any case, not a packaging problem.
