93_add_alt_screen_scroll_toggle.patch Why this patch isn't included in Ubuntu's 14.04 vte package? http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libvte-2.90-9
gnome-terminal calls vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll which is deprecated and do nothing in vte 0.34.9 http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/gnome-terminal http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/libvte-2.90-9 /** * vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll: * @terminal: a #VteTerminal * @scroll: * * Since: 0.34.9 * Deprecated: 0.34.9: This function does nothing. */ void vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll(VteTerminal *terminal, gboolean scroll) { /* We just want to export this symbol for compatibility */ } It causes problems like this: mouse wheel sends key-up/key-down instead of scroll when GNU screen is run in gnome-terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106995 Title: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator: Invalid Status in xfce4-terminal: Confirmed Status in screen package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in vte package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal gnome-terminal started to translate mouse-wheel events into history scrolling, which doesn't work well when there's not a command prompt (another command running). this behaviour should at least be a configuration option; commands other than the shell may be confused by the escape codes sent as input.
