[SOLVED] Mouse scrolling broken in vim after updating xterm 327->329

Normally, :set mouse=a does the trick.  But not anymore.  It looks like there were a bunch of mouse-related changes in 328.  Would anyone be so kind as to reproduce before I submit a bug report?

(The utility I use to enable scrolling in man pages, less-mouse, also broke.)

The latest version is 330, and scrolling in vim works here with :set mouse=a parameter.

Thanks for checking.  I tried 330 just now, still getting the same issue.

I wonder what's different about my system.  Here's my Xresources.

!--------XTERM-----------------------------------------------------------------
XTerm*faceName:                 xos4 Terminus
xterm*saveLines:                4096
xterm*allowsends:               true
XTerm.vt100.allowSendEvents:    true

!--------XTERM COLORS (from Xterm page on Arch Wiki) --------------------------
*background:    #111111
*foreground:    #ffffff
*color0:        #000000
*color8:        #555753

I have no Xressources file, xterm runs with default configuration.
In the xterm window I get:

$ echo $TERM
xterm

Why do you allowSendEvents and can you scroll the linebuffer (ie. bash output)?

Re: [SOLVED] Mouse scrolling broken in vim after updating xterm 327->329

Thanks guys.  I ditched allowsends and allowSendEvents and I can scroll again.  I guess the behavior of these options changed around xterm 328; I don't remember why I had them enabled in the first place.

(To answer Seth's other question: yes, I could still scroll the linebuffer.)

Cheers, marking solved.
