I vote against "scrollback". "Output history" is much better. The term "scrollback" may be well known to GNOME users but to the general English-knowing public, the word "history" universally means "past events" and "output history" means "past output" which is directly understood. The term "scrollback" is not directly comprehendable as a noun to the general English-knower. 

(I am talking about English because this is about changing the English word. The core programmer has generally no control over the translators' using whatever term is appropriate in their language.)
