In Lubuntu 11.10, when I use the 'less' pager in lxterminal, the mouse scroll wheel has no effect. In gnome-terminal, it scrolls the text up or down when viewing a file with 'less'.

Is there anyway to enable this functionality in lxterminal?

    The same issue happens with all VTE-based terminals in ubuntu. The reason seems to be ubuntu-specific patches to the libvte package that broke all other terminal implementations. I gave up on the matter after clicking 'me too' on a bug report for xfce4-terminal and patching it for three releases in a row.

  • @aquaherd: Thanks for the info. Sounds like you've had a lot of experience with this issue. I'll file a bug report against lxterminal at launchpad and see what happens.
