Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.720
Windows Terminal version (if applicable):0.9.433.0

Any other software?
WSL vim (version: 8.0.1453)

# Steps to reproduce

<!-- A description of how to trigger this bug. -->

# Expected behavior

When I scroll the wheel of the mouse in WSL VIM, the cursor should move.


<!-- A description of what you're expecting, possibly containing screenshots or reference material. -->



# Actual behavior
When I scroll the wheel of the mouse in WSL vim, the cursor doesn't move.
But the screen moves when I scroll the mouse in Windows Terminal.

I download the Ubuntu subsystem from the Microsoft store. And it has its own terminal. When I use the WSL vim in that terminal, the mouse works. I mean when I scroll the wheel in WSL vim, the cursor moves.

I'd try updating to the latest version of the Windows Terminal. 0.10 includes mouse support for WSL.

/dup #545 - VT Mouse Mode (Terminal)
/dup #376 - VT Mouse Mode (ConPty)
