Clicking in the terminal generates the mouse coordinates

This is a bit strange as its not happening in all Terminals... it seems to be activated by a key shortcut which seems to be very similar with what I use in my workflow but I just cannot find it.

It manifests as follows: when I click into an open terminal window the position of the mouse gets pasted at the terminal cursor. For example:

0;46;4M0;46;4m

clicking again in the terminal will append the new location and so on. This is generated as text and can be deleted.

My google-fu let me down in this case and I cannot find which feature is this, how can it be activated and deactivated.

Thanks!

Re: Clicking in the terminal generates the mouse coordinates

Sounds like you might have mouse reporting enabled somehow. In which terminals does this happen?

If you are using the bash shell, try renaming your ~/.bashrc file and logging out and back in again. If the problem no longer happens, then something in that file is enabling it.
