> The problem started with 29.3 or 29.4, I did not take a note when I first saw the unusual behaviour.  Also because  it was strange and did not happen regularly, while of lately it happened regularly and I had to get down and find the reason because Emacs had become almost unusable on a terminal window.

> Now I see that I had some problems in the last year which I had circumvented by unsetting COLORTERM before calling emacs under Screen.  It must have been something related, but don't remember what it was.
> 
> While trying to identify the environment leading to the bad behaviour, I see that the problem is not apparent on a different terminal and does not depend on the TERM env var.
> 
> I'll keep investigating when I find the time.  For the moment being, I'll just disbale xterm-mouse-mode

Jared, any further suggestions or ideas?
