When running Slap under Docker, text highlight follows mouse cursor even if mouse is not clicked. #265

Software: Docker 1.9.1 Ubuntu 14.04 Docker Image Slap 1.59 Node 5.3.0

Attached is a screenshot of the problem. When I open Slap on a file from within the Docker image, the text are highlighted following my mouse cursor. It is as if Slap is incorrectly assuming that my mouse left button is pushed down.

I am not sure if this is a Docker problem or Slap problem, any advice would be great.

Hey @askldjd,

Thanks for reporting this. What terminal emulator are you using? If it's GNOME Terminal, this may be an upstream issue: VTE, the library GNOME Terminal uses for rendering the terminal itself, is known to have some issues regarding mouse handling.

@chjj, any thoughts?

Yes, I am using Gnome Terminal. If I am not in the Docker instance, I do not see an issue.
