I want to completely disable the mouse but mouse scrolling in normal mode is not disabled. I have disabled other mouse function but scrolling in normal mode is still on.

To disable the mouse I have used set mouse= and ttymouse=

I ran into the same problem and after some fiddling around found that what is going on is that the terminal is sending up/down keys instead of mouse scrolls.

For my purposes making up/down do nothing in normal mode does what I want. Bear in mind this also stops you using the up/down keys to move the cursor

You might want to also do this in other modes but probably not command mode since up/down let you cycle through history in there.

"seems that either tmux or gnome-terminal converts scroll into up/down key presses
:nmap <Up> <Nop>
:nmap <Down> <Nop>
