7962e0d qt: Do not clear console prompt when font resizing (Hennadii Stepanov)
d2cc339 qt, refactor: Drop redundant history cleaning in RPC console (Hennadii Stepanov)
4f0ae47 qt: Untie irrelevant signal-slot parameters (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  On master, a console resize event will clear the prompt. To fix this, we store the content of the prompt and re-set it upon a resize. This preserves the prompt text throughout resizes. The text will still clear when you click the clear button, as it should.
