This seems to be related to click+drag of the mouse, it mostly happens to me when I want to use the mouse to copy to the clipboard |

If constant writing to the screen occurs, this issue seems to become worse. |

#4065 seems to be the same reported issue, #4076 solves it, and imsnif has deployed the fix on v0.42.1. Initial quick testing looks promising, this might have resolved the issue. I'll check for a while and close if it's really gone. |

Symptoms
Randomly, when I click on Windows Terminal to regain focus of a zellij session, if the layout has more than one pane, the panes get rearranged in a different layout.
After a while, I've learned that hitting Alt+[/] will cycle through different layouts, then I noticed that while I get the layout back (let's say from horizontal to vertical), the location of the panes changed as well (I believe it rotates, but I rarely open more than 2 panes, so in effect, it mostly swaps).
Most of the time (but not always), I also see some random string on the command line, they all look like broken/partial ANSI codes. Some examples:
;111;34m2;134;36MMy Setup
I use zellij on all of my Linux machine, either in vanilla or close to vanilla configuration (mostly disabling key-bindings that bug me).
My Linux machines are all running some Debian or Debian based distros, and I ssh into them using Windows Terminal on my Windows 11 desktop.
I keep my software updated, Windows, Windows Terminal, OS and Zellij.
This is happening on all the systems running zellij (TrueNAS SCALE, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS).
Additional Background
I've been using Zellij for a couple of years now.
My use-case is pretty straight forward - I use it as a simple terminal multiplexer with a single named session, it replaced tmux for me mainly for its discoverability and excellent community, while I don't understand everything about it, it has been a very helpful tool for me.
Why reach out to the community about this?
This feels like a bug, although there might be a configuration that can help.
If it is a bug, I'm not even sure it's a zellij bug, it might be a Windows Terminal one. The reason I'm using Windows Terminal came out of experimenting with a bunch of terminals, and it was the best one with a clean tabbed interface that passed all keyboard bindings the way I expected and passing things to/from the windows' clipboard was the easiest for me.
This issue has been constant and appears at random a few times a day (it's annoying), and while I saw others mention issues of similar nature, their remedies or bug fixes have not resolved my issue and none have reported the combination of my configuration.
