I followed John's instructions and am attaching the terminal output (from the script command) because it does show emulation set to zero as well as my type of mouse.
My scrolling has always worked, just not the middle mouse paste. Performing the steps john suggested did not make the pasting work.
I'm on Lubuntu 16.10 using lxde. The problem also was happening to me last year under the previous LTS (I think xubuntu 14.04) using xfce.
