Public bug reported: Mouse wheel scrolling does not work in applications that take over the terminal, such as "less" and "vi". This is in contrast to other terminals such as Terminator, in which the pointer jumps roughly 4 lines up or down while scrolling.
A similar issue has already been reported upstream, but according to the developers, it works fine on their system.
