It's possible but unlikely. Most folks find an xterms scroll bar
operation non intuitive! (Personally I love it!)

But xterm has several issues, it basically started life as one of
the demo programs for X and became the standard terminal. But
modern ones are much better with better colours, tabs,
scrollbars etc etc.

xterm has none of those things, but is a good vanilla terminal
emulator, so a good starting point for debugging terminal
issues in curses!.
