Package: rxvt-unicode
Version: 7.7-4
Severity: normal
Despite setting the following two resources:
URxvt*scrollTtyOutput: false
URxvt*scrollWithBuffer: false
Should I attempt to scroll back into the buffer, the screen will continue to
scroll along with a growing buffer.
This makes trying to re-read a part of a rapidly scrolling logfile highly
annoying. I believe, that the whole reason that the
scrollWithBuffer resource exists in the first place is to prevent such an
annoyance.
The same occurs should I attempt to use the -si -sw switches from commandline.

Upstream discovered that they had already done so. I'm thus going to
close this bug.
Best wishes,
