That is really weird. When in programs like vim, gnome-terminal should disable scrollback as the ncurses application grabs all the terminal display. I've tried to reproduce your problem and I can't. I was thinking on adding a setting and sending the patch to GNOME guys, but this won't make it in if it isn't reproduceable.
