Mouse not working in vscode windows terminal

[hongshui3000]

The mouse can work normally under the windows terminal, but the menu cannot be clicked with the mouse under the vscode windows terminal. I am using the demo program (python -m textual)

Hi! This is a known issue with the terminal of VSCode on Windows; if I attempt what you mention here on Windows I get the same effect, meanwhile the exact same thing on my Mac has the mouse working just fine in the VSCode Terminal.

We're going to do a wee bit more digging to see if we can find out the core cause for this.

Meanwhile, could I ask you to confirm things like:

• Windows version
• VSCode version

Also, have you tried this with some other mouse-aware terminal application? Do you see the same thing, or does that work?

For what it's worth, I've just done a simple test that didn't involve anything Textual. Picked a terminal application that responds to mouse (in this case vim), ran it in a normal Windows Terminal and confirmed that mouse events were processed as you'd expect. Then ran it under VSCode (yes, I did run vim inside VSCode!) and confirmed that mouse events were not responded to in the way you'd expect.

Conclusion being: this doesn't seem to be a Textual issue, this seems to be a Windows Terminal under VSCode under Windows 10 issue. However, we'll keep this open until we've confirmed the issue one way or another.

@hongshui3000 Thanks for raising the issue in the VSCode repo; I was planning on doing the similar at some point this afternoon so you've saved me a job. :-)

For the record, mouse support works on Windows 11.

It may have been fixed in a Windows 10 update. Either way, closing this issue since there isn't anything that can be done on the Textual side.
