Yeah, I do observe the same behaviour. However,  that is exactly how KDE3
konsole scrolls (or even older versions which I have no experience with). And
that is how xterm and linux console scroll when Shift+PgUp/PgDn is
pressed(correct me).gnome-terminal does scroll full page.

Another interesting fact: I searched the bugzilla history to see whether this
has ever been reported before. To my surprise, I failed to find any(correct
me). That interesting fact may be explained in many ways. I can think of two :

1). Most users simply do not notice or care much about whether it scrolls half
or full page.
2). Most users like this 'scroll-by-half-page-so-you-have-context' behavior, so
they do not report.

If reason #1 is the truth, then changing current behavior is not a big deal.
But if reason #2 is the truth, changing it might make many users unhappy and
open new reports to revert the change.

So here is the typical question: Is it a feature, or bug ?
