2017-05-05 11:10:41 Guram Savinov affects screen (Ubuntu) gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
2017-05-05 11:29:40 Guram Savinov description 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 Persch <chpe@gnome.org> Date: Mon Sep 30 23:00:09 2013 +0200 I suspect that problem is in gnome-terminal, because this problem doesn't exists in screen run from xterm or rxvt terminal.

I suspect that problem is in gnome-terminal, because this problem doesn't exists in screen run from xterm or rxvt terminal.
