2014-07-10 07:54:14 Vlad Orlov description On 2013-09-30, the alternate scroll mode has been implemented in vte3 upstream [1]. In the same commit, vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll function has been added which does nothing and is there only for the compatibility with the previously patched Ubuntu's vte3 (the patch has been dropped in vte3 0.34.9-1ubuntu1). Since this function now does nothing, Ubuntu's 20_add_alt_screen_toggle_ui.patch for gnome-terminal does nothing too. It doesn't matter whether you turn the alt.scroll on or off in gnome-terminal's preferences window - the mouse scroll in console apps like man is ALWAYS turned on. Seems like it's always turned on in vte3 >= 0.34.9 (again, see [1] for more info). So I prorose to drop this 20_add_alt_screen_toggle_ui.patch since it's useless now.
