I have set the scrollback limit to 20000 for the Default Profile:

enter image description here

However the scrolling only has 1000 lines. I verified by tiny python program writing 1200 lines to an output file and then cating the file. only the first 960 were shown (I had some 40 lines of other stuff apparently).

What am I missing?

  • How many lines in your Terminal window? If it’s not a multiple of 25, those, may be lines you are missing.

  • A terminal screen is normally 25 lines, however this can be adjusted.

    This question is about the scrollback not the terminal size

Quitting iTerm completely and restarting fixed the issue. I had mistakenly assumed that closing individual tabs/sessions and then creating new sessions would be sufficient.
