Do not lost previous connection history, when reconnecting the session

Do not lost previous connection history, when reconnecting the session

Using RDM 2024.3.22.0 and putty.

Currently, when a SSH connection is lost, the screen is being cleared. Would it be possible to let it as it is, in order to not lose the terminal text that was displayed.

Moreover, it would be nice if the terminal wouldn't be cleared as well when doing a reconnect.

Hello,

I performed some tests using PuTTY and it seems to work well as long as you use PuTTY's own "reconnect" feature.
After losing the connection to the SSH server, I still see all of the previous history I had:

Then, if I use the "restart session" context menu in PuTTY, it will reconnect and keep the previous history:


Unfortunately it's not possible to support this behavior through RDM's own "reconnect" feature. The reason for that is that PuTTY is a third party application that we embed in RDM, and we don't have control over it other than connecting through command line. I would recommend using the SSH terminal entry type in RDM instead, which is our own implementation which means we can integrate new functionality, etc. This behavior should also be already working with the SSH terminal entry.
