What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
The terminal input parser can now recognise a partial mouse sequence, wait briefly, and discard it if the rest never arrives, instead of letting the leftover characters land in your prompt.
Details
The parser tracks a dropped-prefix state with its own expiry deadlines and matches an incomplete escape sequence.
Click dispatch now reports one of three outcomes, handled, unhandled or stray, with a flag marking a click dropped as stray.
Click events carry a field indicating the click merely activated the terminal window, so a focus click can be told apart from a real one.
Evidence
droppedAsStray
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
