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. ii libvte9 1:0.16.6-0ubuntu2 ii gnome-terminal 2.18.1-1ubuntu Please let me know if you need any more info. -- gnome-terminal unconditionally interprets mouse wheel events https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/106995 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for vte in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
