I noticed the same issues with tmux and the new MS terminal. The events got completely absorbed.

Also there were a bunch of "crazy" display issues, such as when minimizing the window about ~30% of the time the tmux status bar would become hidden.

Or after I exit tmux or even Vim sometimes without tmux, the terminal's background color would turn yellow (but not the entire terminal's background, just the characters where input / output would be legally able to be placed).

All of these things were discovered within about 2 minutes of using it, so these aren't edge cases. They happened very frequently, and things like the mouse just didn't work all the time.

Edit:

I just put together a 10min video showing a few of these display issues with the new MS terminal at: https://www.dropbox.com/s/puzbfs6ws4p8v7a/ms-terminal.mp4?dl...

The yellow screen issue never happened on video, maybe they fixed that but within 1 minute of using the terminal I found 2 new display bugs that weren't there when I tried it months ago.

Also sorry about the quality of the video. Drop box re-encodes videos at 720p (I recorded it at 1080p) and it looks like they are really strict with bitrates too. It looks slightly better than a potato, but you can still make out the display issues.
