Description Friedmund Laßmann 2009-04-27 05:04:52 UTC 
Sorry if this may sound stupid but I'm not VTE expert - I'm just a user of the XFCE 'Terminal' and have learned that this 'Terminal' can not implement a more intelligent autoscroll ("autoscroll only when on last line") (like konsole does it and probably others as well) because of a VTE limitation. 
This is from  http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807#c4 :

If you think that VTE is already capable of providing the needed information, it would be great to write one or two sentences on how to do it so I could forward the info to the XFCE team.

Thanks a lot!

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.
