Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Despite having mouse support enabled in Micro's settings, I cannot use the mouse to reposition the cursor or do other actions requiring the mouse. This does not seem to be an issue with a specific terminal emulator, as it occurs in every emulator I have tested. Additionally, the Linux version of Micro (running on wsl) works completely fine in all emulators I tested.
To reproduce:
- Install Micro on Windows
- Run Micro
- Attempt to use the mouse
Specifications
Commit hash: cfcb2e45

Terminal: Tested in Git Bash, PowerShell, and Fish on WSL using the Terminus, Hyper, Windows Terminal, and Alacritty terminal emulators.

Research direction
Reproduce the failure on Windows 10 using Micro with mouse support enabled, testing the listed terminals and emulators. Compare the Windows behavior with the working Linux version under WSL, then trace the mouse input path and verify that cursor repositioning and other mouse actions work in the reported environments.
