Well I confirm that beta 19's mouse tracking sequences appear to match what I would expect (e.g. "esc[M !!" for for an upper-left corner left-button click). So that's definitely different from beta 18.

Unfortunately, right-click and middle-click don't work (these are used, for example, in my Minesweeper game). But it's much better.

Cool. Another thing I noticed in Netrunner2, the num pad keys always send the digits, never the cursor control (home/end/up/down/left/right) sequences, regardless of the NumLock status. Just thought I'd mention it,
