Similar issues have been posted before, but these are before issue #376. I'm able to use wt with wsl and have mouse events forwarded as expected, so the problem seems specific to git bash. Git bash without wt however handles mouse events as expected.

Which version of vim are you running? I suspect that it is smarter than the average bear, but not quite smart enough yet; see https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10321#issuecomment-855083607 for more info.

If vim is using VT sequences instead of Win32 APIs (which it should be doing owing to being hosted in Cygwin), scrolling should certainly work... but if it's falling back on the win32 APIs, it shouldn't support it even outside of Terminal. 🤔

If vim is using VT sequences instead of Win32 APIs (which it should be doing owing to being hosted in Cygwin), scrolling _should_ certainly work... but if it's falling back on the win32 APIs, it shouldn't support it even outside of Terminal. 🤔

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.2 (2019 Dec 12, compiled Jul 25 2021 21:26:36)
Included patches: 1-3182

Nice table! I don't think git bash has any cygwin dependencies and instead runs on top of mingw, is that incorrect?

I find that mouse input works as expected when running vim from cygwin inside and outside of wt.

cygwin ... mingw

Alas, the MSYS runtime is a fork of the Cygwin runtime! 😄

This is a really useful data point. Thank you!

@DHowett wait, does this mean this one is in fact a dupe, or not?
