Description D. Hugh Redelmeier 2005-09-26 20:36:44 UTC 
Two xterm control sequences have overlapping representations:
CSI Ps T       Scroll down Ps lines (default = 1) (SD)
CSI Ps ; Ps ; Ps ; Ps ; Ps T
               Initiate hilite mouse tracking.  Parameters are
               [func;startx;starty;firstrow;lastrow].  See the section
               Mouse Tracking.

When in VT200_HIGHLIGHT_MOUSE mode, the SD sequence isn't recognized.  This has
been the case for many years.  It just became a problem because the new xterm
termcap entry adds an SR capability that says SD works (which it does not always
do).

It seems to me that the two sequences could be allowed to both work if they were
disabmiguated by the number of parameters.

Fallback: remove SR from termcap entry for xterm.

I have a fix which will be in patch #206.

there's no fixed-upstream resolution available.

Close this since there's no site-maintainer.
