Glitch with input

[willmcgugan]

Reported via textual web, but I suspect this is unrelated. On macOS Terminal.app inputs will show escape sequences for mouse movement.

I suspect that Terminal.app is generating different sequences that Textual isn't picking up. If we log what the terminal is generating we should be able to figure it out.

First step would be an app and a single input. Hopefully this can reproduce it.

The OP wrote ”The potential bug occurred if I dragged and clicked my mouse across the input fields. I'm using the Mac Terminal app, it doesn't appear to happen in iTerm2.”.

I'm also failing to reproduce this with terminal.app v2.13 (447) on macOS 13.5. I've also tried with a Textual app running under screen and tmux within terminal.app and still can't get the same effect.

Something to chase up with the developer might be exactly what pointing device they were working with (unlikely to be the issue, but it might be down to other inputs other than "drag" on, say, a trackball, or a mouse, or even something really fun like a SpaceNavigator -- yes I'm reaching here).

Oh well. Let's park this until we have more information.

Still can't reproduce. Closing, assume fixed.

For future reference, never post Discord links because they expire.

FWIW, the now-missing recording is this:
