Moving the mouse wheel makes me flipping through history in Konsole. I want to disable this feature.

settings -> edit current profile -> scrolling -> no scrollback

That didn't work, even after a reboot.

I misunderstood, you're interested in disabling the command line history not the scrolling history - that I do not know

seems like this bug/wish https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170582

No I did mean scrolling history. I was going to file a bug report when I found out I have Konsole Version 2.14.2 on my Debian 8 distro ans Wikipedia says the current stable release is 16.04.0. How can I upgrade? I've got the Debian backports. I had already ran:;

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

as best as I recall that option is not new so it should work, try as a new user

if you're running KDE 4.x.x then you'd need to run 5 to get 16.94.0

That version appears to be the latest Ubuntu version, nothing to do with Debian. Here the output of my Debian testing:

Code: Select all

toad ~ $ dpkg -l|grep konsole
ii  konsole                                                     4:15.08.3-1                          amd64        X terminal emulator

After your apt-get update you will also need to run an

Code: Select all

apt-get upgrade

HTH

I ran:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

and still the problem persists. Could you help get the current version of KDE?

again I don't think that is a new option so try as a new user

upgrading is a distro specific function, best asked there

As I prefer Yakuake over Konsole I never experienced that behaviour but just now I fired up Konsole and, voila, I can flip through my history with the mouse wheel.

I reckon this is standard behaviour as in: it is a feature, not a bug and no new user is getting you around this one.

The only (ugly) hack would be to disable history completely. Having said that, I don't know where to do that. The option is not listed in any of the konsolerc files...
