alt Hacker NewsThe headache I recently had was it somehow started interpreting mouse clicks in the terminal to mean I clicked an option when I was really just trying to get/confirm window focus.

Yeah same here, very annoying and counterproductive. The terminal is not a place where one expects hot buttons.
This bit me too. If I wanted a mouse-driven app, I'd use the GUI. I don't understand why they're trying to replicate that experience in a text environment.
I saw that but it asked me if I wanted to optin first! I did accidentally and hated it since I always click on the terminal to make it focused and now accidentally click on something that actually responds!
I really hate that change. It's counterintuitive that a shell recognizes mouse clicks to mean "select this option".
Also, the auto-copy selected text feature is awful. That's another thing that is so counterintuitive. I have never seen a UI where just selecting text means auto-copy to the paste buffer. Who is coming up with these awful UX ideas?
On top of that, the scroll "feel" of the new client (at least on macOS) isn't quite as good as their old one. It just feels off and not like a native terminal.
The new fullscreen UI is really bad. The old one (scrolling) starts to bug out after a while, but it van just be restarted and resumed.
They also randomly changed how copy-paste works in a way that made it really annoying to copy text.
Vibe-coders pumping out features: this is the reaction you're going to get if you inflict this on your users! Nobody wants software that updates every day and changes in fundamental ways that are hard to keep up with.
