            Bug ID: 509630
           Summary: Konsole with large amount of history cleanly exits
    Classification: Applications
           Product: konsole
      Version First 21.12.3
       Reported In:
          Platform: Kubuntu
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: konsole-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: s.schmeisser at posteo.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
We have a bash session running a python programm (roslaunch) that starts our
robot control software. It produces lots of output so we/some of my coworkers
set the history to 1.000.000 lines. Now after 2-5 hours konsole just
disappears.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start konsole
2. roslaunch ...
3. wait a few hours

OBSERVED RESULT
log files indicate "KeyboardInterrupt" being send to python, konsole cleanly
exits, logs say:
