           Summary: control flow suspended indicator is annoying
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: jpalecek web de


Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

The control flow warning has two problems.

1. It is shown when output is, in fact, not suspended. This includes using C-s in mc to search the pane, emacs search, turning flow control off via stty etc.

2. It obscures the konsole widget. This is a real annoyance, because that means you eg. cannot see the first line of text in emacs (during normal work). And C-q is special for emacs, too, so to get rid of it, you have to insert a character in the buffer - that's really brain-dead.

I propose making the widget optional, especially if 1 cannot be fixed.

I'm using Debian's experimental 4.0.74 packages
