Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently Photon has tmux 3.3, however it crashes with mouse mode on (set -g mouse on in .tmux.conf) and clicking in the terminal (might be this issue). On other machines (mainly Debian-based distros) I tested that tmux 3.3a, 3.2a and 3.1c all work well.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like an alternative (or higher) version of tmux without this mouse-mode problem be available in the Photon repo.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
  • OS: Photon OS 5.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the mouse-mode crash on Photon OS 5.0 with tmux 3.3-3.ph5 and the .tmux.conf setting set -g mouse on. Compare the available tmux versions and make an alternative or higher version with the issue resolved available in the Photon repository.
