Here is an insane patch that fixes the problem. I just did a behavioral
replacement of file operations with memory operations. This patch could
be seriously improved if I could understand the interaction of "offset"
and "newpage" better, and just make this a sensible moving window of
memory instead. I ran out of time last night, though.
** Changed in: vte (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Patch added: "stream-mem.patch"

Title:
vte use causes /tmp file writing during text scrolling
Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: terminator
If you open gnome-terminal, and run:
inotifywait -mr /tmp
You can watch files in /tmp. If you cause a terminator window to
scroll (ls -la /usr) you'll see many temp files being created and
deleted. This doesn't happen with gnome-terminal, and I do not have
"infinite scrollback" selected in terminator.
