Originally created by @GalHorowitz on GitHub (Jun 12, 2020).

Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 1.0.1401.0

Any other software?

Steps to reproduce

After launching the terminal, mouse input is completely broken. I can't select anything, I cant click the plus icon to create new tabs, and I can't click the three icons to minimize/maximize/exit. Right click to paste doesn't work either (but ctrl+v does)
Keyboard input is working correctly and I can still use the terminal.

Edit:

This seems to happen because of my multi-monitor setup. The problem only happens if the terminal window is in the main monitor. Also, I don't know if this is relevant but I updated powershell to 7.0.2 this morning.

@GalHorowitz Are you using multiple screens?

I just noticed I have exactly the same problem, but only on one screen. I'm using multiscreen setup with 3 screens. On my primary screen, I have this problem. On the other 2 screens, everything works just fine.

I'm using version: 1.0.1401.0

I wanted to create repro video so I moved terminal window to second virtual desktop. And suddenly it started working on all screens! :)

So as workaround, you can move it to other virtual desktop and back and it will start working again :D

@DHowett I am. This is so weird, since this only started today, but I installed PowerToys 3 days ago. But exiting PowerToys does fix the issue.

@DHowett I think this is still some variant of microsoft/terminal#3325 which is where it can be reproduced without PT running.

Closing PT works for me too, but I also want to add that I've never seen this happen with the MS terminal + PT running unless I run GIMP (the image editor), in which case it happens 100% of the time. The lack of mouse input ends up affecting both the MS terminal and various GIMP toolbox icons and exiting PT fixes it for both.
