           Summary: Support extended mouse coordinates
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.4.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: egmont at gmail.com


Version:           2.4.5 (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

Using the legacy method, mouse coordinates can be reported only up to 223. If
you have a wider terminal, you cannot use the mouse in the rightmost columns.

There exist two extensions to overcome this problem, a broken one invented by
xterm (the "DEC 1005" mode) which is supported by xterm, urxvt and iterm2; and
a good one invented by urxvt (the "DEC 1015" mode), supported by urxvt and
iterm2.

Please see the http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/2662 for a detailed
introduction and comparison of the two extensions, for a patch to midnight
commander to support the urxvt extension, and for xterm to support this
extension. Also please see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=662423 for
a patch to gnome-terminal (vte) to add support for both extensions.

Please add support for these two extensions (or at least the good "urxvt 1015"
extension) to Konsole, too. Based on the similar patches for other terminals,
it should be very easy to do it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Compile mc-4.8.0 with the patch at the site linked above. Start it, and make
the terminal wider than 223 columns. Try to use mouse in the rightmost columns.

Actual Results:  
Mouse click coordinates get mangled, i.e. the application believes you clicked
somewhere else than you actually did. E.g. you click on "10 Quit" in the bottom
right corner, but MC brings up the User menu instead.

Expected Results:  
Mouse should work perfectly everywhere, even in columns beyond 223.
