Does vim saving all edits in terminal history?

Question

I have recently noticed a side bar at vim terminal that scrolls all they way to the first command I ran to get vim started. Every time I open an file using NERDTree or close a file I am still working on the same terminal, but the previous snapshots of vim are saved in terminal history. I can scroll all they way to the top and look at every vim command I ran and what file was open during that command.

I have never seen this happen before? Can I turn it off? If I press :q the file that was currently in the terminal shifts up and the new files shows up at the bottom.

Thanks to FDinoff I found the problem. The "term" variable was set incorrectly. I went to my vimrc file and commented out the exact line with "term" and vim now works perfectly fine.
