tmux mouse not working on one of my machines

[Michael Garrett]

I manage a lot of Centos 5.x and 6.x machines.  On at least one of them, (actually a few) I can't get tmux mouse mode to work.  Specifically mouse-select-pane, but probably more.  All of my machines call the same .tmux.conf file out of the same NFS mounted home directory.  That file contains these 4 lines:



set -g mode-mouse on
set -g mouse-resize-pane on
set -g mouse-select-pane on
set -g mouse-select-window on

The server side machine that mouse-select-pane doesn't work on is called "admin".  It has these properties that I think are pertinent based on info from the main tmux sourceforge page:

  [***@admin ~] rpm -qa | grep -i curses
  ncurses-5.5-24.20060715
  ncurses-5.5-24.20060715

  [***@admin ~] rpm -qa | grep -i libevent
  libevent-1.1a-3.2.1

  [***@admin ~] uname -a
  Linux admin.mgmt.smoke 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:28:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

One of the many server side machines that it works on is called "cycl01"  Here are the same properties:

  [***@cycle1 ~] rpm -qa | grep -i curses
  ncurses-5.5-24.20060715
  ncurses-5.5-24.20060715
   <Same as above>

  [***@cycle1 ~] rpm -qa | grep -i libevent
  libevent-1.1a-3.2.1
   <same as above>

  [***@cycle1 ~] uname -a
  Linux cycle1.mgmt.smoke 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 3 03:28:30 EDT 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
   <same as above>

Most of my testing of this problem is from a client machine (a Mac laptop) running iTerm 2 Build 1.0.0.20120724, but I eliminated iTerm as being the problem by running the same mouse-select-pane tests from a native Linux desktop, and it had the same problem on admin and worked on cycl01.

What other variables could cause the mouse tools to not work on one server side machine if kernel, ncurses, and libevent are the same?  


Thanks for your help.

What's TERM set to outside/inside of tmux? Can you try this with actual
xterm?

Hi

So when you split the window and click on a pane nothing happens?

Can you kill run "tmux -Ltest -vvvvv" then do C-b : set -g
mouse-select-pane, split the window once, click a few times to reproduce
the problem, and send me the tmux-server-* log file?

libevent 1.1 is way way too old for tmux or anything else so it might be
worth trying a later version.

Nicholas,

 I wish I could reproduce it, but now I can't.  I've just attached to 6 different machines that used to have the problem and I can reproduce it upon initial connection, but when I exit all of my existing tmux sessions on that server, I can no longer reproduce the problem.  At least I now have a known workaround.  Anything else you want to see if I get one in this state again?

-Mike
