<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Friends pointed me out to older bugs reports of the quite same
problem with libvte. Situation has changed since but it seems kept
in the wrong choices to me... Problems are there since 09/2009 (vte-0.21.6).<br>

<p>It is pointing out that the suggestion I made in previous comment
was also made in 2015 and has drawbacks : [...] it is inherited by
all child processed launched inside the terminal which is probably
not what they want.<br>

While setting TMPDIR to a shm or tmpfs based location is a nice workaround for those who definitely want their scrollback in memory, it is cumbersome: it is inherited by all child processed launched inside the terminal which is probably not what they want. Moreover, it's not feasible to set this in some global environment definition file.
For these people it would be convenient to support VTETMPDIR - if defined, it would take precedence over the standard tmp dir locations.</pre>
