ConEmu: Cannot select text on mintty panels with mouse with recent update
Versions
ConEmu build: 171109 x64 OS version: Windows 10 x64 Used shell version (Far Manager, git-bash, cmd, powershell, cygwin, whatever): cygwin
Problem description
When I begin a new panel, by hitting the + button. I can select text using my mouse.
Once I change to a different tab, and then change back, using mouse doesn’t select any text anymore.
This didn’t happen on my old version (only with recent update).
This does not happen when I launch a powershell tab panel, only with cygwin mintty panels.
This also happens just when I switch from my ConEmu window to a different window!
Steps to reproduce
- Create new tab panel using mintty.
- Change to a different tab (perhaps another mintty panel)
- Change back
- Try to use mouse to select some text

See #1368; the child application is getting sent a WM_MOUSEACTIVATE message every time a mouse button is clicked, independently of the “Focus in child windows” setting.
I just upgraded to mintty 2.8.4 and conemu 18.2.6.0. I have the child gui setting checked “Focus in child windows”. This has changed one thing. I can now double click on a line, and get a highlight over it inside mintty. However Click + Drag for selection of the text still doesn’t work.
