[Mlterm-dev-en] mlterm: weird mouse behaviour

[John S. <jd...@ca...>]

Ubuntu 20.04, Gnome shell 3.36.2 running under X11, Ubuntu distribution
version of mlterm — version 3.8.9, Features: otl ssh implugin
imagelib(builtin) utmp.

I have configured mlterm for use with normal Roman and also Devanagari
(Hindi). Both appear to work well.

Once mlterm is displaying some text, if I move the mouse it behaves as if I
were simultaneously pressing the left button: text is highlighted and the
window scrolls up/down. Nothing I do seems to change this behaviour. I have
tried modifying the settings for clipboard and scroll under “Others” in
mlterm’s menu, but these changes seem to have no effect, and anyway they don’t
“stick” — they always revert to the default (clipboard selection checked, the
two scroll options unchecked).

The only item in my msg.log file is

May 27 08:55:16[277993] Font(id 10d1) width(10) is not matched with standard width(8).

repeated whenever I switch into the Devanagari font.

I would be happy to try compiling the current version of mlterm, but would
need specific guidance on what options to use for ./configure.

Thanks for any help,
John Smith
