[Aptitude-devel] Bug#1057688: aptitude: Stray input on window click when running under tmux

[Antonio Russo]

Package: aptitude
Version: 0.8.13-5
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: aerusso at aerusso.net

Dear maintainer,

If I run aptitude inside xterm, and click on an aptitude TUI element (say, a particular
package), that package will be selected.  If, instead, I am running aptitude inside tmux,
and I click on said element, it appears many garbage characters are sent to aptitude,
including probably m and M, (the symptom is the automatic install state of packages changes).

If I manually set TERM=xterm inside the tmux window, everything works.  Alternatively, outside
of tmux, if I set TERM=tmux-256color I get the same bad behavior in aptitude.

If I downgrade all ncurses packages to 6.4+20231016, I don't get this behavior.  Maybe this
bug should instead be assigned to ncurses?

Best,
Antonio Russo
