This was reported nine years ago.  It seems to me that the conclusion
from the discussion at the time was that it might have been something
wrong in your setup, or some specific issue in xterm on Gentoo, rather
than a bug in Emacs.

I also can't reproduce this issue here, using Emacs 26.2 and XTerm(344).

Can you still reproduce this on a modern version of Emacs?  If I don't
hear back from you in a couple of weeks, I'll just close this as
unreproducible.

Best regards,
