Yes that happen to me occasionally, which is why I use the scrollback patch for st. I find it much easier to hit Shift+PageUp than to rerun a command. And when the output of a command changes with time, re-running it might not get the same output. > This is exactly the anti-pattern I pointed out.

It would be great if st could be resized without losing text. I notice that dvtm and tmux handle a shrinking window differently. In dvtm, the text is just cut off; in tmux, the text is wrapped. Both of them restore the text properly when the window is enlarged again. I think I like the dvtm (truncation) way better, but I don't really know or care that much. The important thing is that the text is not lost.
