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. Debian and also Ubuntu took over the support. The Ubuntu patches killed the alternate scroll feature for most terminals, except gnome-terminal which has a built-in solution for it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1337195 Title: MATE terminal: mouse scroll doesn't work in certain console apps (e.g. man) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mate/+bug/1337195/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
