Mosh users lose terminal scrollback during remote sessions
Mosh users report that output scrolling off the screen cannot be reviewed later; one says this stopped them adopting Mosh and sent them back to SSH. A separate pager request describes terminal resizing and line reflow moving the user's place. The evidence is old and narrow, so current prevalence and whether Mosh's behavior has changed should be validated.
For remote-shell users and terminal power users. Mentioned from Apr 2012 to Jun 2020 on GitHub.

Scrollback is essential in everyday use. I was about to make mosh my primary tool for remote work but as I discovered this flaw I'm back to ssh
It's been about a year now that I have my eye on mosh waiting for this feature to be implemented. I think mosh could become an essential tool -- but not until this works
