[Bug 1340687] Re: Please replace current alternate screen scroll patch with the new one, making this scroll permanent

 

Hi Martin,

This patch does not require changes in other applications. You can leave
all GTK+2 terminal apps as is - they will still work as they should even
with their corresponding alt.scroll patches enabled. This patch only
enables alt.scroll in the temrinal apps that haven't been patched yet,
that's all.

Actually, the only GTK+2 terminal app that is patched is xfce4-terminal.
Other apps like mate-terminal, roxterm-gtk2, lxterminal are not patched.

Is there something else needed for SRU here? Let me know, I'll make
corrections.

Title:
  Please replace current alternate screen scroll patch with the new one,
  making this scroll permanent

Status in vte package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Dear maintainers,

  Please remove 93_add_alt_screen_scroll_toggle.patch and replace it
  with the new patch from the attachment.

  This patch adds support for DEC 1007 escape sequence, thus making the
  alternate screen scroll work always. After applying it, the
  corresponding patches with the calls to
  vte_terminal_set_alternate_screen_scroll function can be safely
  dropped from the terminal applications using GTK2-based vte (e.g.
  xfce4-terminal).

  The patch has been adapted from the upstream commit in VTE3 [1].
