I am seeing a similar behavior in screen under gnome-terminal under Ubuntu 9.10. I can scroll using ctrl-shift-arrows or ctrl-shift-page up/page down, but the mousewheel just goes through command history. With xterm and rxvt, mouse wheel scrolling works as expected. -- gnome-terminal

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

The problem is with vte (the terminal widget that gnome-terminal uses). A feature was added that sends a number of up/down keystrokes instead of regular scrolling if it is using the alternate screen or scrolling is restricted (one or both of which are the case when using ncurses applications). I

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

Heath's comment and upstream bug suggest this is actually a VTE issue, rather than screen, so I have marked the Screen task as Invalid and added Ubuntu's VTE package and the upstream bugzilla report. ** Also affects: vte (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: vte

I added termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@ to my .screenrc, and now I can scroll in my screen windows. I love it. Thank you. I do have one question though. If I use the mouse wheel, or the up down arrows of the scrollbar, the window scrolls, but snaps back to the bottom by itself. If I want to

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

It's almost certainly caused by screen -- the mentioned termcapinfo line (also a variant is commented out in screenrc) fixes the problem. Maybe we should consider shipping that by default :) -- gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106995

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

For me, this happens in Feisty as well, though I suspect it depends on the version of screen running (potentially, remotely)--or possibly bash --rather than of gnome-terminal. In order for such a thing to occur, bash must request screen to send it mouse button events, and screen must in turn

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

I have just upgraded my laptop (Thinkpad X40) to gutsy in the last few days and encountered this. If I launch a regular gnome terminal and generate a lot of output (e.g. ls -la /etc/) and scroll with the mousewheel it moves back and forth through the history correctly. If I then run screen

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

fwiw, you can make screen send scrollback to the terminal with this in screenrc: termcapinfo xterm ti@:te@ but I can reproduce the particular issue I mentioned with a fresh user (which presumably doesn't have that option since it's not enabled in /etc/screenrc). -- gnome-terminal

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

Well, changing the TERM environment variable doesn't trick bash into sending that sequence. Perhaps bash won't request it, but will interpret them if they are sent unbidden. Aha! If I run screen cat, and scroll the mouse wheel, I get data. It's definitely looking like screen automatically

[Bug 106995] Re: gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events

Sorry, that wasn't very clear. With the regular gnome terminal without running screen, the mouse scrolls through the *scrollback* of the terminal (ie what you would expect since the widget has a scrollbar). It's just running inside screen that makes it scroll through command history, for me.

Please specify the versions of the libvte-common and gnome-terminal packages installed on your system. What exactly do you mean by history scrolling? Do you mean that it scrolls through bash's command line history? gnome-terminal should never send _any_ escape codes for mouse actions, unless it
