I have Ubuntu 12.04 as a primary desktop. The hardware is a P9X79 motherboard with USB keyboard and USB mouse. I do not use Unity, etc. I start TWM and use xterm most of the time.
If I boot linux-3.2.0-38-generic (Ubuntu 12.04), and fill the xterm buffer with lines of text (repeat ls;ls;...;ls) and then grab the left scroll bar with mouse-center button and scroll up, the effect is a smooth scrolling of the text lines. If I boot linux-3.2.0-39-generic (Ubuntu 12.04), or later linux kernel, and fill the xterm buffer with lines of text (repeat ls;ls;...;ls) and then grab the left scroll bar with mouse-center button and scroll up, the effect is a slinky scroll of the text. The latest kernel I have is linux-3.13.0-1, which has the slinky scroll. I installed Ubuntu 14.04 on a spare disk and configured it similar to the 12.04 system. After updating, it now runs Linux 3.13.0-6-generic. If I fill the xterm buffer with lines of text (repeat ls;ls;...;ls) and then grab the left scroll bar with mouse-center button and scroll up, the effect is a smooth scrolling of the text lines. Question: It appears the slinky scroll is related to Ubuntu 12.04, not the particular kernel. Is this true?
