Tested with emacs -Q -nw, in Terminal.app, with TERM=xterm-256color. The issue does not reproduce with TERM=rxvt.

If I press "C-h k", and then switch to another application, then this is registered as "ESC [ I-", and then upon switching back, as "ESC [ O-". I think this is about mouse events, in and out, or "I" and "O".

I think since I actually have M-[ bound to resize windows (without -Q), then this allows I and O to be passed to emacs and inserted as text, or for more strange behavior in other modes like evil or magit.

I'm not sure if this is considered an emacs problem, or if there is an idea for a workaround, besides perhaps unbinding M-[.

I just tested in a debian VM as well, with snapd's emacs 27.1, and the same issue occurs, C-h k, then M-TAB to switch to other application shows ESC [ I- in minibuffer. Similarly issue is seen with TERM=xterm-256color but not with rxvt.

Thank you,
-Brady

I can reproduce this with Emacs 28, too.

emacs -Q -nw
C-h k
*click in a different window*

I think it's the focus-in event that we somehow mishandle.  See xterm.el, search for "\e[I" (without the quotes).

Instrumenting the  xterm-translate-focus-in/out functions shows that
they are being called, so that bit apparently works correctly?

However, if I say (read-event "foo: ") and then click on another window, 
I get the following return value, which...  I probably shouldn't?  Or
should I?

27[O

The reported test case is actually in

(read-key-sequence "foo: ")

and it won't actually return the \e[O, but will just append it to the
prompt.

Does this work in Emacs 27?  If it does, I suspect one of the recent
changes in the input handling stuff...

No, Emacs 27 also has the same problem.  Emacs 26.1 does not, though.

Poking at this a bit more -- the translation of these events apparently
relied on some magic in `read-event':

    ;; These translation functions actually call the focus handlers            
    ;; internally and return an empty sequence, causing us to go on to         
    ;; read the next event.                                                    
    (define-key map "\e[I" #'xterm-translate-focus-in)

;; By returning an empty key sequence, these two functions perform the         
;; moral equivalent of the kind of transparent event processing done           
;; by read-event's handling of special-event-map, but inside                   
;; read-key-sequence (which can recognize multi-character terminal             
;; notifications) instead of read-event (which can't).                         

(defun xterm-translate-focus-in (_prompt)
  (setf (terminal-parameter nil 'tty-focus-state) 'focused)
  (funcall after-focus-change-function)
  [])

This works in Emacs 26.1, but not Emacs 27.1.  I've stared at the
changes in read_key_sequence, but nothing seemed immediately suspicious
here...

Meaning what? that xterm-translate-focus-in is no longer being called?
But you said up-thread that the handler _is_ being called.

It is called, but the event isn't translated to the [] null event any
more, so they "leak out" into the echo area (see screenshot in message
upstream).

It's not the echo-area that is the problem, it's the fact that "C-h k"
thinks it should describe the focus-in sequence, right?  If so, why is
that unexpected?  "C-h k" is supposed to describe the next input
event, right?  If we don't want it to describe the focus-in event, we
need to swallow it.

No, `C-h k' waits for the next real input event.

Which is the focus-in event, right?  Or what do you mean by "real
input event"?

No.

> Or what do you mean by "real input event"?

It waits for the user to hit a key, and Emacs meanwhile displays the
focus-in event stuff in the echo area.  Again, see the image in a previous
message that shows what it looks like after hitting `C-h k' and then
choosing a different application.

Actually, there could be one more way for us to get that weird echo:
if Emacs thought that "ESC [ I" was a prefix key.  See that dash after
the sequence? that's what Emacs displays after key-echo when it
received a partial sequence, like if you type "C-x" and wait.  So
perhaps somehow Emacs thinks these focus-in events are prefix,
i.e. incomplete key sequence.

Yes, that sounds likely.  And....  if I `C-k h C-x' and then lose focus
and get it and then `a' and then lose and get focus and then `C-g', I
get:

C-x a C-g (translated from C-x M-[ O M-[ I a M-[ O M-[ I C-g) is undefined

So somehow what we do in xterm-translate-focus-in causes Emacs to
interpret the sequence as an incomplete one.

Stefan, any ideas how that could happen?

I was wrong about this being a regression since Emacs 26 (sort of) --
since enabling focus-in things in xterm.el, this apparently has been the
way it's worked.  Emacs 26 doesn't do the focus tracking.

So `xterm-translate-focus-in' does the correct thing in the normal
command loop, but not quite when doing a read_key_sequence?  I mean,
what it's doing is better than what it'd otherwise do -- then `C-h k' +
focus out would read the first ESC and then "[O" would be inserted into
the buffer.

Which is indeed what happens if you say (read-event "foo") and then
change focus.

AFAIK, `C-x` is incomplete and so it `C-x a`, so I don't e anything
wrong in what is described above.

I meant the original input: "ESC [ I"  This should be a complete key
sequence, given the following:

    (define-key map "\e[I" #'xterm-translate-focus-in)

But for some reason, "C-h k" thinks it's an incomplete key sequence,
because "C-h k" followed by a click on a different frame displays
"ESC [ I-" (note the dash).  Do you understand why this happens?

It's not so much wrong as just pretty confusing.  That is, the original
complaint is that saying `C-h k' and then focusing on some other app
will leave Emacs saying "Describe the following ...: ESC [ O -", which
wasn't the case in Emacs 26 (because we hadn't enabled mouse-in/out in
xterm.el).

`xterm-translate-focus-in` works at the level of keysequence remapping,
so "ESC [ I" is indeed a complete sequence but *for a remapping* and
it's remapped to the empty keysequence, which is not a complete keysequence.

In the sense of `C-h k`, "\e[I" is not bound to `xterm-translate-focus-in`.

AFAIK we don't currently have a command to query which key-remapping
happened for a given sequence of events, IOW, there is no equivalent to
`C-h k` that could tell the user that "\e[I" is "bound" to
`xterm-translate-focus-in`.

The closest that we have is that `C-h k` will tell the users both the
remapped keysequence and the original ("untranslated") keysequence.

Yes because "ESC [ I" is not a sequence of events that is sufficient to
successfully find a command bound to it in the normal keymaps (global
map, local map, minor mode maps, ...).  It's only bound in the
key-remapping maps, which are handled at another level (e.g.  when the
users hit `C-h k mouse-1` in an xterm, they are told which command
`mouse-1` runs rather than which function was used to remap the byte
sequence into the `mouse-1` event).

Indeed, the echoed keys are poor here.  I don't know why we have that
here: when I bind `f6` to a prefix keymap and I hit `f6` in xterm, I see
`f6-` in the echo area rather than `M-[ 1 7~-`, so there's something odd
going on, but AFAICT the problem is "cosmetic" in the sense that it only
affects the echoed keys.

I thought the bug report here was about a problem beyond the set of keys
that were echoed.

So you are basically saying that this stuff works as intended, and the
key-echo should be considered a "feature", or at worst a harmless
misfeature?

My reading is that this is purely about the confusing cosmetics:

  If I press "C-h k", and then switch to another application, then this is
  registered as "ESC [ I-"

Note the "-" at the end.  But perhaps Brady can clarify.

So this is a very minor issue, but it's just...  odd.

And it would perhaps be cool if Emacs had a mechanism to make events
like this "go away" more completely than we currently have, but that's
perhaps not feasible (since we do bind them to functions and stuff).

I would not consider it a feature, but other than that, yes pretty much:
the key-echo part is clearly a bug (we normally display translated key
sequences rather than untranslated ones), but it doesn't cause any
further misbehavior as far a I can tell.

I think we have the machinery in place to "make it go away".
There's a bug in it that makes it fail to do it job in this
specific circumstance.
