xterm control-middlemouse doesn't show a menu

As long as I've used xterm, control-middlemouse button click-and-hold brought up a menu, that included some vital things like resetting the entire scroll buffer.

For some reason, control-middlemouse no longer brings up a menu, although control-leftmouse and control-rightmouse still bring up old, familiar menus.
The Arch wiki claims control-middlemouse still does this, but I'm at a loss - I haven't tinkered with window manager configs or .Xresources in a long time.

For what it's worth:

i3 window manager

linux-zen kernel

my .Xmodmap:
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

my .Xresources:
