Description Egmont Koblinger 2015-04-16 22:18:14 UTC 
Found now here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/198931/how-to-set-gnome-terminal-to-scroll-a-fixed-number-of-lines-with-the-mouse-wheel?rq=1

I also spotted it earlier:
bug 710426 comment 1

The number of lines by which we scroll depends on the terminal height. It shouldn't.

vte.c vte_terminal_scroll():
        v = MAX (1., ceil (gtk_adjustment_get_page_increment (adj) / 10.));
Comment 1 Egmont Koblinger 2015-04-17 00:32:00 UTC 
We should check other apps whether it should be a constant amount of rows, or a constant amount of pixels (rounded to integer rows).
Comment 2 Egmont Koblinger 2015-04-19 14:59:58 UTC 
Well, it seems that Gtk+'s scroll amount is proportional to the window height. I've tried it in gedit and Files. So probably vte's current behavior is just good this way.
