Can we go back to the old SSH app?
Is it possible to use the old SSH application? I've got two issues that make it difficult to do my job
1) SSH connections seem flaky. They appear to timeout (although stay open) and require me to close and reopen before
2) Tmux split screen gets obliterated and bleeds into the other pane when dealing with lines longer than the terminal window.

Hi,
Unfortunately, no, it is not possible at the moment.
The SSH backend didn't really change. What changed is the renderer on top of the protocol. You connection would probably be as flaky even you could go back. That being said, there might be some instability the new renderer doesn't handle as well. We will look into it. This is using the sql server + vpn setup?
I've notified the dev in charge of our SSH implementation and he's looking into it.

Hi Jonathan,
Yes, this is the SQL server over VPN datasource. The connections are over VPN as well.
We've tried to replicate your tmux issue but couldn't get it to bleed.
What server are you connecting to? What font are you using for the client, size, distro?
Anything that could help identify the cause.

Steps to reproduce
Set terminal font to "Ubuntu Mono" (I've tried some other fonts, but they look very weird and/or like garbage. I'm willing to try a different font if necessary)
SSH to server
Start tmux
Split the terminal vertically (ctrl + b, Shift+")
Switch to the top pane (ctrl + b, up-arrow). Note the line separator between panes
Cat a log file with long lines (tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages should work)
Note the disappearance of the line between panes. I've seen this bleed multiple lines across that "barrier"
(now for the more extreme example)
Clear the top pane (run the "clear" command) ## This isn't strictly necessary but shows the issue more visably. Maybe run "ls -l /" to give it some interesting data
Switch to the bottom pane (ctrl + b, down-arrow) Note the line separator comes back between panes
Cat a log file with long lines (tail -n 1000 /var/log/messages should work)
Note the complete obliteration of the top pane
Here's what it looks like on my end when following these steps.

Hmm, that would be so nice. I wonder why it' s completely bonkers on my end.
Could you export your session without host/username/password in case another setting is causing problem?
It might also be a setting on your server tripping our SSH client.
