            Bug ID: 465580
           Summary: raise scroll back limit substantially
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other

            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
A scroll back limit of 1000 lines is way too low for a default. Everyone I've
whined to over the years agreed that the limit is too low and said to just set
it to unlimited or raise it substantially. Let's do this globally. There is no
practical reason I can think of why we'd have a limit this low. It only ever
takes minutes to find a command with output that doesn't even fit inside the
limit.

I propose we raise the limit to 1,000,000 and see how that goes.

An argument might even be made that unlimited is the way to go. It's kinda
unexpected that output "randomly" disappears.
It may also make sense to equip konsole with kuserfeedback to get a sense of
what configuration values get changed a lot.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run pw-dump

OBSERVED RESULT
half the output is not there

EXPECTED RESULT
a reasonable amount of output fits in the history
