I'm using Gnome terminal in Mythbuntu 12.04 and mouse-wheel scrolling

the things I've tried from Googling have failed to solve the issue. I've
tried setting options using the LESS environment variable, lesskey, and
played with the scrolling settings in Gnome terminal, but all to no
avail. The same issue happens in XFCE terminal, so I think it might be
something to do with less rather than the terminal used. Can anyone
suggest what might be happening here or does anyone know of a solution?
if you *have* to display the man page in a terminal, I can't help; but if
you don't mind displaying the results in a browser, have a look at
man -H[<browser>] or man --html[=<browser>]
It's on an ssh session to another machine. That doesn't mean I *have*
to, but it is not as convenient as just bringing up the man page.
