Hi Stefan:

Thanks for your help. With your hint and checking my config Y found that
the problem was this line:

*omitTranslation: fullscreen,popup-menu,select,wheel-mouse

specifically omitTranslation for "select"

I am not totally sure yet if this is intended or an issue and I could
comment to xterm developer if this is fine.

Best,
Ergus
