Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19041.450]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.2.2381.0

Any other software?
PDCurses: https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses @ 618e0aa

Steps to reproduce

# CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.17)

project(CursesTest VERSION 0.1.0 LANGUAGES CXX C)

find_package(Curses REQUIRED)

set(MOUSECURSE_SOURCES
  mousecurse.cpp
)

add_executable(mousecurse ${MOUSECURSE_SOURCES})
target_link_libraries(mousecurse
  curses
)
target_compile_definitions(mousecurse PRIVATE PDC_NCMOUSE)

// mousecurse.cpp
#include <iomanip>
#include <iostream>

#include <curses.h>

void print_input(int input);

int main()
{
  initscr();
  raw();
  keypad(stdscr, TRUE);
  noecho();

  mousemask(BUTTON1_CLICKED, nullptr);

  move(1, 1);
  attron(A_BOLD);
  printw("PDCurses Mouse Test");
  attroff(A_BOLD);

  bool run = true;
  while(run) {
    refresh();
    int input = getch();

    switch(input) {
    case 'q':
      run = false;
      break;
    default:
      print_input(input);
    }
  }

  endwin();
  return 0;
}

void print_input(int input)
{
  move(3, 1);
  clrtoeol();
  printw("The pressed key is ");
  attron(A_BOLD);
  if (input & KEY_CODE_YES) {
    const char* name = keyname(input);
    printw("%i (%s)", input, name);

  } else if (input == KEY_MOUSE) {
    MEVENT event{};
    if(getmouse(&event) == OK) {
      const char* name = keyname(input);
      printw("%i (%s) [x: %i, y: %i, state: %lu]",
          input, name, event.x, event.y, event.bstate);
    }

  } else {
    printw("%i (%c)", input, input);
  }
  attroff(A_BOLD);
}

Expected behavior

I'm expecting the receive mouse input to the application. This works in normal cmd.exe:

mousecurse-cmd

Actual behavior

In Windows Terminal the mouse events doesn't reach the application, instead a text selection is made:

mousecurse-winterm
