Based on the last time I experimented with this (sometime within the last
year), I am fairly certain Kevin was steering you in the right direction.
If you have several different konsole tabs open (for the same user), you will
find that as long as konsole is open, each tab may have a different history
of commands. When you close those tabs, each time you close a tab, its
history is written to the ~/.bash_history file *overwriting* what was
previously there.
(Aside: afaik, the history is not saved to the file at any other time.)
When you open a new tab, you will find that it has the history from the
~/.bash_history file--if you open more than one tab, they will all have the
same history (until you start to do things in those tabs).
What I didn't say, is that, afaict, each konsole tab keeps a separate history
in RAM, but there is only one file copy.
IIRC, that's what I found the last time I experimented with this.
