I think that it is good when terminal scrolls down new lines. But it does it when I want to look previous lines and scroll up.

So let terminal automatically scroll down only if the scrolling is below.

General -> Scrolling -> [ ] Scroll on output

Fuck you :) *I am drunk, sorry :) *

Don't just reopen bugs without any useful comment why it should be reopened. And don't think about bugzilla if you are drunk. You'll just annoy people. This bug is INVALID because there's already an option to disable scroll-on-output.

If you want the "scroll only when on last line", you'll need to file a feature request to VTE.

I already set off the "scroll on output"
Thank you! :)

I'd really like to have this "scroll only when on last line" feature as it is the default with the "konsole" terminal. So I went on an filed a feature request against VTE: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=580370

This is what they replied:
vte_terminal_set_scroll_on_output() and vte_terminal_set_scroll_on_keystroke()?
 gnome-terminal has the feature you explain.  Or I'm misunderstanding what you
want.

Do we need anything else?
