I just tested Linux Mint MATE 18.0 on a live USB stick and scrolling by mouse-wheel finally works! Many thanks to everyone involved!
For Mint 17.x I know 2 solutions: 1. either install and use gnome-terminal instead of mate-terminal 2. or replace /usr/lib/libvte.so.9.2800.2 by one of Debian as I wrote in comment #13 For 2 search for "debian libvte9 0.28.2-5", download libvte9_0.28.2-5_i386.deb (or _amd64.deb), open it with the archive manager, extract "usr/lib/libvte.so.9.2800.2" and copy that file to /usr/lib (I recommend to make a backup of your existing file first) -- 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
