For me this behaves the same way as it does with vim open (with the set mouse=a setting) even without Zellij. I think this is a vim thing.

It seems that zellij converts the mouse single-click event to a double-click event, because double-clicking without zellij will make nvim enter the v mode, which is consistent with the situation of single-clicking in zellij.

as far as I can tell this changed between 0.26.1 and 0.27.0, I'm guessing the termwiz refactoring might have something to do with it.

Debugged this a little, and what is happening now is that mouse button press events are getting repeated as well as mouse hold events.

Ah, just saw this now. Could we maybe rig the repeater to only repeat mouse hold events then?
