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.
