Description
If I use mosh to connect, and then run a command with a lot of output, e.g. ps, my scrollback buffer doesn't get any of the overflow. This is sad-making -- I don't always know when a command will produce a lot of output, and, additionally, I like scrollback for seeing previous commands' output.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in mosh with a command such as ps that produces more output than the terminal can display. Investigate how mosh handles terminal output and scrollback, then verify that excess output remains available in the client's scrollback buffer without breaking normal terminal behavior.
