I've been using this in my ~/.screenrc to tell screen not to switch to
the alternate screen, so I can use my scrollback:
termcapinfo xterm|xterm-256color ti=\E7\E[?47l:te=\E[H\E[2J\E[?47l
This also enables mouse wheel scrolling of the scrollback (as long as
you don't turn on 'mousetrack' in your .screenrc).

Title:
gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Opinion
Bug description:
Bug is based on my last comments from
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/106995
Environment:
Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
gnome-terminal 3.6.2
libvte 0.34.9
screen 4.1.0
The problem is:
1. screen is running from gnome-terminal
2. mouse wheel scrolling generates up/down events which ends up as bash
history scrolling instead of gnome-terminal history scrolling
3. if run cat command, then mouse wheel ends up as esc-keys:
^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[B
Gnome-terminal's option about alternate screen is not working anymore in
trusty ubuntu release, but it has been working in precise release.
As I said in bug 106995: gnome-terminal's option about alternatre screen
doesn't do anything with vte, so it's useless, but if I understand this patch
in vte right it set alternate screen option true value on initialization
automatically.

gnome-terminal calls vte_terminal_reset in terminal-window.c which set
alternate screen flag to true, it's strange that it doesn't work.
I suspect that problem is in gnome-terminal, because this problem
doesn't exists in screen run from xterm or rxvt terminal.
