It looks like the suggestion of enabling xterm-mouse-mode here of this SO issue http://stackoverflow.com/a/6798279/27782 is breaking my rxvt. The function called is: (defun initialise-mouse-mode (&optional frame)   "Initialise mouse mode for the current terminal."   (if (not frame) ;; The initial call.       (xterm-mouse-mode 1)     ;; Otherwise called via after-make-frame-functions.     (if xterm-mouse-mode         ;; Re-initialise the mode in case of a new terminal.         (xterm-mouse-mode 1)))) And it is called on init.el and with the hook below: (initialise-mouse-mode) (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'initialise-mouse-mode) Apparently if I comment out the hook I still get the functionality but rxvt now does not break like my images show. I can comment it out but I am not sure if this bug report is still valid.
