[Bug 1688528] Re: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down
this is a huge headache for running vim in the gnome-terminal: the mouse scroll generates a sequence of key up or down strokes that are indistinguishable from the real keystrokes. having a very sensitive mouse scroller will inevitably produce unwanted scrolls to wrong place while, for instance, pasting the x11 buffer with the middle mouse button. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I've been using this in my ~/.screenrc to tell screen not to switch to the alternate screen, so I can use my scrollback: termcapinfo xterm|xterm-256color ti=\E7\E[?47l:te=\E[H\E[2J\E[?47l This also enables mouse wheel scrolling of the scrollback (as long as you don't turn on 'mousetrack' in your .screenrc). ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: New => Opinion -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Yes, it's the replacement for that previous option. It's enabled by default, \e[?1007l turns it off ("l"ow), \e[?1007h re-enables ("h"igh). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1688528] Re: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down
Could you explain how this escape-sequence works? Does it set true value to the alternate_screen_scroll flag in libvte? Does this ecape secuence substitutes option about alternate screen which was in gnome-terminal profile settings? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1688528] Re: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down
Hmmm, it's hard for me to imagine why/how this could happen. Input parsing should be independent of what's on the screen. Anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't help with the escape sequence. I'm personally out of here (I'm not an Ubuntu developer but a gnome-terminal one; I'm happy to join again if an issue is reproducible with a much more recent gnome-terminal even after emitting the said escape sequence). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1688528] Re: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down
No, this escape sequence doesn't change anything. One more clarification: problem appears only when output on the screen fills all rows, i.e. when you output at least one screen of rows. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1688528] Re: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down
gnome-terminal / vte changed its behavior around that time. There was also quite a bit of confusion caused by a downstream ubuntu patch and removal also around that time. I'm not sure what's 14.04's behavior, but in newer Ubuntus (e.g. 16.04) you can disable alternate screen scrolling with the DECRESET 1007 escape sequence, that is: echo -ne '\e[?1007l' Maybe it already works in 14.04, please try it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

** Description changed: Bug is based on my last comments from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/screen/+bug/106995 Environment: Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS gnome-terminal 3.6.2 libvte 0.34.9 screen 4.1.0 The problem is: 1. screen is running from gnome-terminal 2. mouse wheel scrolling generates up/down events which ends up as bash history scrolling instead of gnome-terminal history scrolling 3. if run cat command, then mouse wheel ends up as esc-keys: ^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[B^[[B Gnome-terminal's option about alternate screen is not working anymore in trusty ubuntu release, but it has been working in precise release. As I said in bug 106995: gnome-terminal's option about alternatre screen doesn't do anything with vte, so it's useless, but if I understand this patch in vte right it set alternate screen option true value on initialization automatically. commit 9f8c1b88dcd880c2d9e78c93521ee755560a9275 Author: Christian PerschDate: Mon Sep 30 23:00:09 2013 +0200 + gnome-terminal calls vte_terminal_reset in terminal-window.c which set + alternate screen flag to true, it's strange that it doesn't work. + I suspect that problem is in gnome-terminal, because this problem doesn't exists in screen run from xterm or rxvt terminal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1688528 Title: gnome-terminal with screen interprets mouse wheel events as up/down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1688528/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
