            Bug ID: 321949
           Summary: GNU screen breaks konsole scrollback
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.10.4
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: history
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: kavol at seznam.cz

If I run `screen` in konsole window, the scrollback is completely disabled -
the scrollbar is grayed out, I cannot see text that already rolled out of the
window, the search function does not work ...

I've found an older bug #123643 dealing with this, but the suggested workaround
does not work for me, and also I cannot find any mention about the issue in the
current documentation at
http://docs.kde.org/development/en/applications/konsole/index.html

Also, it'd be nice if that could be fixed on a application level, rather than
leaving it upon every single user to search for workaround and apply it on each
and every machine under each user account where screen is run ...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run `konsole`
2. in konsole, run `screen`
3. run some command with lot of output, e.g. `rpm -qa` on rpm based distro
4. try to see previous page of output by hitting Shift+PgUp
5. try to search in the output using Ctrl+Shift+F
Actual Results:  
4. does not work, you can see just the last page of output
5. does not work, the search bar pops up but finds nothing

Expected Results:  
4. last but one page of output is shown
5. the output will scroll to a place where the searched string is present and
all occurences of the string are highlighted

hm, I believe about ~1/2 year ago the scrollback in konsole had worked with
screen, otherwise I'd report this earlier ...
