I think I'm seeing a slight regression in the behavior of the mouse wheel
with xterm-mouse-mode. This is when running in -nw mode, using Windows
PuTTY as a client, with ssh into a linux box where the emacs runs. I've
verified that it's nothing in my init.el or site-lisp files. I've verified
that the bad behavior described below does not happen when running on the
same host with a real xterm.

The problem seems to have begun with emacs 24.4. I verified with fresh
builds from source that it works with 24.3, but not with 24.4 or 24.5.

The problem:

 When I scroll using the mouse wheel, the buffer scrolls as before, but
there's also a screen flash, and a complaint in the mini buffer: "M-[ m" is
undefined". It seems that emacs is seeing this escape sequence after each
movement of the mouse wheel. I have PuTTY set to report xterm mouse events,
and I have xterm-mouse-mode turned on in emacs.

I can work around this by adding a global-set-key to recognize the escape
sequence and ignore it. As yet, I don't know if my workaround breaks
anything else. The escape sequence means "Turn off all special character
attributes, e.g., blinking, bold, etc.". Here's the workaround I'm using:

(global-set-key (kbd "\e [ m") (lambda () (interactive) nil))



Here is the lossage output under various combinations of emacs version and
client. I notice that with 24.4 the character \230 is displayed differently
than in 24.3, don't know if that relates to the problem. These are all
started as emacs -q -nw. After emacs starts up, I enable xterm-mouse-mode,
and then do a single scroll down with the mouse wheel:





This is emacs 24.3 with the PuTTY client. The bad behavior is not seen in
this case.



ESC [ > 0 ; 1 3 6 ; 0 c ESC x x t e r m - m o u s e

- m o d e RET ESC [ M a \230 % ESC [ M # \230 % C-h

l







This is emacs 24.3 with the genuine xterm client. The bad behavior is not
seen in this case.



ESC [ > 0 ; 2 7 8 ; 0 c ESC ] 1 1 ; r g b : 0 0 0 0

e - m o d e RET ESC [ < 6 5 ; 5 0 ; 1 3 M C-h l










This is emacs 24.4 with the PuTTY client. The bad behavior is seen in this
case.



ESC [ > 0 ; 1 3 6 ; 0 c ESC x x t e r m - m o u s e

- m o d e RET ESC [ M a  K ESC [ M #  K C-h

l







This is emacs 24.4 with the genuine xterm client. The bad behavior is not
seen in this case.



ESC [ > 0 ; 2 7 8 ; 0 c ESC ] 1 1 ; r g b : 0 0 0 0

/ 0 0 0 0 / 0 0 0 0 ESC \ ESC x x t e r m - m o u s

e - m o d e RET ESC [ < 6 5 ; 9 6 ; 4 2 M C-h l$






Pasted below is the output from M-x report-emacs-bug on the failing
version. I have also tried emacs 24.5 and found the same bad behavior with
the PuTTY client.
