SSH fixed terminal size option to not have content "jump" on the screen

Hi

Would it be possible to extend the functionality when using a fixed terminal size on a SSH connection.

So that you have a option to not show lines outside the fixed size ? I can "simulate" it by setting "Max scrollback lines" to 0, but i would like the be able to scrollback. But just not have our apllication "jump around" visually.

I have attached 2 video showing what i mean.

For both cases i have this configured for the display on the SSH host


For RDM-fixed-size-ssh.mp4 i "Max scrollback lines" set to 2000

For RDM-fixed-size-ssh-without-scrollback.mp4 i "Max scrollback lines" set to 0


I would love if when using fixed size i had a option to have the display just stay in the topleft or have it dynamically change the fontsize like putty does it when configured for it.
I have recorded putty-fixed-size.mp4 to show what i mean for how putty does it.

Using putty inside RDM it works, but i would like to move to use the native SSH client instead.

Hello,

I've moved your thread to the RDM feature request forum, as this touches RDM more than Devolutions Server.

I've opened a ticket so we can add an option for this. We will post back here once we have an update.
