Hello there, the mentioned function was working with the GTK2 version, but it's no longer since version 0.6.90. I was able to select a line couple of pages before, click on the Page Down button and all the text was highlighted. I tried to compile the current version and previous ones with a couple of GTK2 force parameters, but these remain unknown because of the configure file, it's pretty clear. So loosing this function is something planned or is there anything to set? Thanks
Hi, Perhaps, that was something that was supported by the GTK2 version of VTE and/or GTK2 itself. Both VTE and xfce4-terminal (starting with version 0.6.90) have migrated to GTK3 which could be the reason why this functionality is no longer working.
Hello, is there any way to convert this bug report to a function request? I walked trough the build files and seems like there is no way to compile the package with a GTK2 fallback option, right? Thanks
Correct, it isn't possible to build the current version against GTK2. VTE, which is the library xfce4-terminal is built upon, has migrated to GTK3, and there's no way back. I will look into the selection thing but I'm not sure how much I could do without the VTE support for this.
