Re: Mouse interaction in -nw

Hi Stefan:

I repeated the same with only xterm (to remove tmux and simplify)

And loosage shows:

 ESC x                   ;; execute-extended-command
 x                       ;; self-insert-command
 t                       ;; self-insert-command
 e                       ;; self-insert-command
 TAB                     ;; minibuffer-complete
 m                       ;; self-insert-command
 o                       ;; self-insert-command
 TAB                     ;; minibuffer-complete
 RET                     ;; minibuffer-complete-and-exit
 ESC [ < 0 ; 2 3 ; 2 M        ;; mouse-drag-region
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 2 4 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 2 5 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 2 6 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 2 7 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 2 8 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 2 9 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 0 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 1 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 2 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 3 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 4 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 5 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 6 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 7 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 8 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 3 9 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 4 0 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 4 1 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 4 2 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 4 3 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 4 4 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC [ < 3 2 ; 4 5 ; 2 M ;; anonymous-command
 ESC w                   ;; kill-ring-save
 C-h l                   ;; view-lossage


Sorry but I don't know what's going on at this point :( I can't disable
more mouse events in xterm. 

This is my xterm config (just in case):
