It sounds like complaining about "cache" in a browser. Storing scrollback in memory can also store it on disk when swapped.

- rmc 15y agoMost sensitive web browser data would not be cached.

- deltaray 15y agoYes, it sounds like it. The difference being that most people expect the browser to cache data to disk and it even uses this wording in the preferences. Most people using the command line don't expect the data in the scrollback to be written to disk.
