v0.9 Scrolling inside tmux not working as it's used to be

[feryardiant]

How to reproduce

• enter tmux
• make sure to enable mouse interaction setw -g mouse on in .tmux.conf
• hit enter multiple times, or open any man pages
• scroll using touchpad or mouse scroll wheel

Expected

The text on screen is scrolled as it should be in the previous versions

Actual

It's scrolling command history before actually scrolling text on screen

---

Tried to roll back to v0.3.13 everything's still works fine
Open any file using vim inside tmux, srolling still works fine
Tried compared to Windows Terminal

Hi @feryardiant,

I am not able to reproduce or I don't understand the issue completely.

How do you start the wsl-terminal? with login?

Hi @mskyaxl

Sorry for late reply, here's my wsl-terminal shortcut' property:

C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\bin\mintty.exe --wsl --rootfs=// --configdir "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\etc" -i "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\open-wsl.exe"  -t "        " -e /bin/wslbridge2  -e SHELL="/usr/bin/zsh"

and yes I am on login shell

Anyway, for some reasons it might be there's some issues with my dotfiles config but I still don't know. I'll do some investigate & let you know once I figured it out.

if zsh is your shell .bashrc will not be sourced at startup

can you try to run <your path>\wsl-terminal\open-wsl.exe -l?

A good read about the order of the *rc files:

Yes, you're right and I have to admit that I don't really familiar in this regard, lol. But this answer helps me to verify

can you try to run <your path>\wsl-terminal\open-wsl.exe -l?

Tried this:

C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\bin\mintty.exe --wsl --rootfs=// --configdir "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\etc" -i "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\open-wsl.exe -l"  -t "        " -e /bin/wslbridge2  -e SHELL="/usr/bin/zsh"

Result:

Tried this:

C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\bin\mintty.exe --wsl --rootfs=// --configdir "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\etc" -i "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\open-wsl.exe" -t "        " -e /bin/wslbridge2  -e SHELL="/usr/bin/zsh" -l

I see wslbridge2-backend has --login flag but not the zsh

C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\bin\mintty.exe --wsl --rootfs=// --configdir "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\etc" -i "C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\open-wsl.exe -l" -t " " -e /bin/wslbridge2 -e SHELL="/usr/bin/zsh"

this cannot work because -i argument for mintty is the selection of the icon, try please:
C:\tools\lib\wsl-terminal\bin\open-wsl.exe -l and that's all
