I just tested Linux Mint MATE 18.0 on a live USB stick and scrolling by
mouse-wheel finally works!
Many thanks to everyone involved!
For Mint 17.x I know 2 solutions:
1. either install and use gnome-terminal instead of mate-terminal
2. or replace /usr/lib/libvte.so.9.2800.2 by one of Debian as I
Has this been fixed in Mint Mate 18.0? I'm using 17.3 right now and the
bug still persists.
Is there no way to fix it myself?

Glad to hear that it will be fixed finally in Ubuntu 15.04 (and
hopefully Linux Mint 17.3)!
I just searched for a PPA or a fixed .deb for the brand-new Linux Mint
17.2 which is based on Ubuntu 14.04.2 but now has a mate-terminal 1.10.0
(without the bugfix). Does anyone know a link to a PPA or deb
Alex, please comment on the report I mentioned above. The bug should be
fixed in VTE library instead. We need to convince the maintainers there
to patch it in 14.04 and other stable releases.

Ok, I'll check if it can be redone for the latest version of mate-terminal.
Looks like the VTE maintainers didn't do anything about my other patch, so I
guess we'll have to stick to this one for a while.

I'm sorry, but I can't scroll in man again.
I have installed Ubuntu 14.04 and Mate 1.8 on my new PC. And now I can scroll
in curses-based apps, like mc, but I can't scroll when I read man pages.
Steps to reproduce: open any long man page, for example man man, try to
scroll with mouse wheel.
Thanks, I confirm that the alternate scroll now works in Ubuntu MATE
14.10.

I think this is impossible to add this vte patch to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (only to
future releases). Only one chance to fix mouse scroll in this release is patch
to mate-terminal. If you don't add patch to mate-terminal then Ubuntu stay with
incorrect scroll for all long LTS period (about 5 years as
1. This patch won't be accepted in MATE because it's Ubuntu-specific.
See the comments: [1] and [2]. For example, the alternate screen scroll
works fine in Debian without any patches. The same applies to other
distros. That's why I've filed the bug report here. There's no need to
apply the patch
Oh man, it's complicated. Thanks for explaining.
I checked your point 1. I copied libvte.so.9.2800.2 from Debian Sid into Mint
17 and alternate scroll in mate-terminal works!
I totally agree with your point 3!
To summarize: in 2012 Gnome.org stopped support for libvte9 at 0.28.

@Monsta: thank you very much! I look forward when wheel scrolling

Do you agree that we make this bug a duplicate of your improved one at

And I opened a new report upstream on gnome.org to tell them about your
Well, technically this is not a duplicate, just the patches that apply
on different scales.
And I'm afraid gnome guys won't apply this: this old GTK+2 VTE is
obsolete for them. They support only GTK+3 one.

You were right. The Gnome guys literally abandoned Gnome 2, as they
say. I had to check this, before I leave Gnome once and for all.
As many others I am confused since this Unity/Gome3/MATE/Cinnamon
forking. But I think it's still better to fix a bug upstream than in
every distro. In case of
I think I understand now: libvte9 stopped evolving in Oct 2012 at
0.28.2-5. It is not supported by gnome.org anymore. And it has NOT been
forked by MATE yet! Integrating your new patch would mean to fork the
out-dated libvte9.

Oh.
Guys, I kinda forgot about this patch. Since then, I've submitted a
better patch [1] - it's better because it's intended to be applied to
VTE, a terminal widget library which all GTK+2 terminals (MATE terminal,
Xfce terminal, roxterm-gtk2, lxterminal, etc.) use.
If it's applied, then there's
I checked the binaries in Mint 17 MATE (which is based on Ubuntu 14.04
LTS):
The patch for vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll is in package
libvte9 (GTK 2), in libvte-2.90-9 (GTK 3) and in gnome-teminal, but not
in mate-terminal! So the problem seems to be in mate-terminal only.
strings
What's more interesting, the patch in gnome-terminal now does nothing
[1] because the functionality has been added upstream in VTE3
(libvte-2.90-9) [2]. That means the alternate scroll is always on and
can't be disabled.
[1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1340067
[2]
Added a patch for mate-terminal.
The patch adds a new option in the preferences to enable the alternate scroll.
You can turn it on and off as you like (the default value is on). The patch has
been adapted from the corresponding patch for gnome-terminal 2.32.1.
Dear maintainers, please consider
The attachment This patch enables alternate scroll. Adapted from the
corresponding patch for gnome-terminal 2.32.1. seems to be a patch. If
it isn't, please remove the patch flag from the attachment, remove the
patch tag, and if you are a member of the ~ubuntu-reviewers,
unsubscribe the team.
I agree that this is essential. I have been with MATE for well over a
year and have simply been using gnome-terminal all along. A scroll-on-
scroll-wheel feature only seems trivial until you have to work without
it.
