Description

Hi!
Is it possible to reconnect to a SSH session without getting the screen cleared? Can you make an option to enable saving all scrollback after reconnect?
When a regular Putty session (not via mRemoteNG) is disconnected, there is an option to "Restart Session" and the content of the screen, including all the history is saved.
But in mRemoteNG, when clicking "Reconnect" on a SSH tab, the screen and all the history is cleared.
I'm working with a lot of opened tabs paralelly but in my systems everywhere enabled disconnecting after 15 mins of inactivity in shell. And its terrible each time to remember what output was in console before reconnection :(

Expected Behavior

An configurable option to save sessions scrollback on its tabs after reconnecting
