Description
- gnome-terminal
- debian jessie
- i3wm
Inside of the editor when I go to scroll down or up the file will scroll for half a second and then stop. If I move my cursor at this point I can see that it is actively highlighting text. I can click out of that and try to scroll again but the same thing happens.
I noticed something similar mentioned in the closed issue https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/issues/131 and thought to try the upstream tcell in a new build. This didn't allow scrolling at all and would only highlight.

Research direction
Reproduce the scrolling behavior in gnome-terminal on Debian Jessie with i3wm, using the editor setup described in the issue. Review closed issue 131 and compare the reported upstream tcell build behavior. Done means scrolling no longer stops while selecting or highlighting text.
