Description
It's forward of downstream https://bugs.gentoo.org/753578 report.
When mc is built with ncurses-6.2 mouse keypresses in xterm don't work and generate garbage output. The following workaround seems to be enough to fix it locally:
-
lib/tty/key.c
a b tty_get_event (struct Gpm_Event *event, gboolean redo_event, gboolean block) 2124 2124 gboolean extended = c == MCKEY_EXTENDED_MOUSE; 2125 2125 2126 2126 #ifdef KEY_MOUSE 2127 extended = extended || (c == KEY_MOUSE && xmouse_seq == NULL 2128 && xmouse_extended_seq != NULL); 2127 extended = extended || (c == KEY_MOUSE && xmouse_extended_seq != NULL); 2129 2128 #endif /* KEY_MOUSE */ 2130 2129 2131 2130 xmouse_get_event (event, extended);
$ LANG=C ./src/mc --version GNU Midnight Commander 4.8.25-59-ga2bccac62 Built with GLib 2.64.5 Built with ncursesw 6.2 With builtin Editor With subshell support as default With support for background operations With mouse support on xterm With support for X11 events With internationalization support With multiple codepages support With ext2fs attributes support Virtual File Systems: cpiofs, tarfs, sfs, extfs, ftpfs, sftpfs, fish Data types: char: 8; int: 32; long: 64; void *: 64; size_t: 64; off_t: 64;
Some details:
$ tput kmous | cat -v ^[[M $ echo $TERM xterm-256color
Actual generated sequences by xterm are in form of "\e[<0;10;28M", but mc expects-non-extended form of "\e[bxy".
