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

Status in vte package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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].
