Bug#1012046: References / previous reports

[Ludovic Pouzenc]

Hi,

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).

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.

> 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.
