Issue

After freshly installing Zsh on my windows subsystem, I decided to install the micro command-line editor. When running micro on the ubuntu prompt, I am able to use clicks to move my cursor position within the terminal editor environment (as I am supposed to). However, when running micro on hyper, the clicks do not change the cursor position. Can you all look into this? Thanks so much.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by running micro in Ubuntu on Windows Subsystem for Linux, comparing the normal Ubuntu prompt with Hyper 3.0.2 on Windows 10. Trace terminal mouse-input handling from the Hyper application entry point; done means clicks reliably move the editor cursor in micro without breaking terminal input.
