Description

I run micro remotely over ssh in a tmux session. It seems that all mouse input (click, scroll, mark) is blocked on some rows or character positions.
For example, I have en editor open right now with 53 visible rows. Any clicks or mousewheel scrolling is ignored if the mouse if over rows 14, 26 and 37, unless it's also to the right of column 147.
Not sure if it's a remote login, tmux or micro bug.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mouse behavior in micro 2.0.10 on Ubuntu 18.04.6 with Gnome Terminal, an SSH connection, and tmux. Check whether clicks and scrolling are ignored at the reported rows and columns, and consider the issue resolved when mouse input works consistently across the visible editor area.
