Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.11.2921.0

Other Software

WSL2: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
ZSH: 5.8
tmux: 3.0a-2ubuntu0.3 amd64
tmuxinator: focal 1.1.4-3

Steps to reproduce

Using .tmux profile:

# enable mouse
set -g mouse on
set -g terminal-overrides 'xterm*:smcup@:rmcup@'

# use zsh as the default shell
set-option -g default-shell /bin/zsh

I would have expected to be able to use the scroll wheel on my mouse (while pressing Ctrl) to be able to change the font size. This, however, does not work. I can use Ctrl + + and Ctrl + - but the scroll wheel would've been much nicer.

Expected Behavior

While pressing Ctrl the scroll wheel would change the font size in tmux sessions.

Actual Behavior

While pressing Ctrl the scroll wheel has no effect in tmux sessions.
