Description
Problem
Using Micro within the new Windows Terminal frankly just removes all mouse support for Powershell and CMD, however using a mouse on Micro within WSL still works flawlessly within the same terminal for some reason.
Mouse support works on other terminals such as the regular CMD terminal and the Powershell terminal just not the new redesigned UWP one :/

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Reproduce the mouse-support failure in the new Windows Terminal UWP app on Windows 10 1909 using the reported Windows commit, then trace the terminal input handling; done means mouse support works there without regressing CMD, PowerShell, or WSL behavior.
