[Guram Savinov]

It seems that this commit in vte is related somehow:

commit 9f8c1b88dcd880c2d9e78c93521ee755560a9275
Author: Christian Persch 
Date:   Mon Sep 30 23:00:09 2013 +0200

emulation: Add support for DEC 1007 to set the alternate scroll mode

By default, the mouse wheel sends cursor up/down keycodes in the
alternate screen. This adds an escape sequence (DEC 1007) that allows
turning this off (and on again).

For compatibility with ubuntu's  patched vte, also add a
(deprecated, skip) public API that has the expected name but does nothing.

Based on patches from ubuntu, and Egmont Koblinger.

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.

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.

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

[Heath Caldwell]

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 wrote a patch for vte to make the feature toggle-able, and a patch for
gnome-terminal that allows you to turn it off or on for a profile. I
filed a bug for this at:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=538195

You can get the patches there. Unfortunately, it looks like the vte
developer isn't very receptive to the idea of making the feature
configurable, which is kind of baffling to me.

The gnome-terminal patch makes the setting available under the
Scrolling tab in the profile editor.

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.

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

[PETERV]

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 stay where I 
scrolled to I have to keep my mouse on the scrollbar slider and hold it in 
place.  Makes it kind of difficult to do a cut  paste.  Is there any fix for 
this?  Also, I know this is off topic, but is there any way to get syntax 
coloring in vim when you're using screen?  It works find outside of screen.
Thanks again

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 :)

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

[Micah Cowan]

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 request it of the
xterm-like terminal running it. It seems likely that, for whatever
reason, bash does not enable mouse-button support when running directly
in gnome-terminal, but does when being run under screen. While it's hard
to say for certain, my strong suspicion is that this is a bash issue,
rather than a vte issue. However, as to whether this is truly a bug,
I'm not sure.

Note that, scrolling through the scrollback buffer when screen is active
is useless anyway, since screen does not cause anything to be scrolled
in the terminal; rather, it saves things to its own scrollback buffer,
which can be accessed in copy mode (C-A C-[).

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

[Chris Jones]

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 inside the terminal and generate a lot of output,
instead of behaving as above, the scrollwheel just does the equivalent
of pressing up and down cursor keys - ie yes, it scrolls the command
history.

I am able to reproduce this with an entirely new user with no bash,
screen or gnome-terminal configuration. I am also able to reproduce it
with a python script which uses vte. FWIW, I scroll using the middle
mouse button and EmulateWheel (xorg.conf option). For me this is a
regression from Feisty.

Please let me know if you need any more info.

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).

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

[Micah Cowan]

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 requests mouse input, then,
which it should not do. As I said previously, this is happening for me
in Feisty (screen-4.0.3-0.2ubuntu2).

I'm reassigning this to screen, as that appears to be the culprit.

the issue Chris and I have just been discussing would be a separate

mouse reporting to produce your issue).

[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. Matthias -
can you reproduce it outside of screen?

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

[Micah Cowan]

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 has specifically been asked to. Something has asked it to. Do
you only encounter this action after running certain programs, or do you
have a customized .bashrc?

Please move any .bashrc you have, to a temporary location (where bash
won't read it by default, and open a new gnome-terminal. Does this
behavior still occur?

(Áron, I hope you don't mind if I assign this one to myself, again.)
