Can't scroll through manual pages

[toal193]

I can't scroll through man/info pages by using mouse wheel or touchpad. It could be done in any other terminal emulator (including terminator, that is also based on python-vte). So, what could be wrong and/or missing here?

Package version is identified as 0.4.2-7.

You will have to be a little more specific about your problem as I (among others) cannot reproduce it.

Oh, sure. Please, tell me what you need to know.

I just reproduced the error for a newly created user, so the issue is "system-wide".

And, I almost forgot, I use Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64.

This is an Ubuntu-specific issue and #237 has a patch for it.

However, I didn't commit it because yet because it relies on a function which is added by Ubuntu patch to libvte/python-vte. So there is a great risk that it will fail on another distros.

Pingou, can you please test if the patch causes crash on Fedora? If it doesn't, I'll commit it so that it will go into the next release.

Anyway, why only guake needs this patch, while any other term. emulator doesn't?

I'm not that sure about other terminals, but that's the defaults of the library.
