Mouse wheel scrolling does not work in paged applications such as "less" or "vi"

[Sam Vervaeck]

Mouse wheel scrolling does not work in applications that take over the terminal, such as "less" and "vi". This is in contrast to other terminals such as Terminator, in which the pointer jumps roughly 4 lines up or down while scrolling.

A similar issue has already been reported upstream, but according to the developers, it works fine on their system.

This issue is fixed upstream in 0.5.0 (https://github.com/Guake/guake/issues/222).

Is there any release date for the Ubuntu package of this version?
