I guess that this is probably no option for you, but I thought I'd
mention anyway:
the scrollbar behaviour you describe appears to be what an old-fashioned
terminal like urxvt (package rxvt-unicode) does here. The scrollbar looks
real old-fashioned (motif-style) though, in case that matters.

In case you have a mouse with a wheel, what's wrong with middle-button
pasting? I don't know about xfce4-terminal, but this works fine here with
urxvt and lxterminal and probably most other terminal applications as
well.
Have a nice day,
