Strange "mouse" behavior in mintty


Hi all,

I'm hitting a mouse-related (?) problem with mintty in non-mouse mode.

STC A: Log into a remote machine, invoke `sleep 10', and -- during the wait --- click anywhere on the line containing the cursor.

STC B: Open tinyirc and click anywhere on the text entry line at the bottom

Both cases will insert a long string like this: ^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C^[[C (only about 4x longer)

I suspect this is a problem with the way mintty tries to be helpful with the mouse when the app's not mouse-aware. Running STC A on a local mintty/bash sesson will place the cursor wherever you clicked, which while harmless is arguably incorrect (and probably the source of troubles).

Any ideas?
Ryan
