It's really not necessary write 3 emails about this, and certainly doesn't get
you a reply any faster.

I can't reproduce this problem.

Are you using a 3-button mouse? Does removing -emulate3buttons help?

Is this a local xterm process, or one on a remote computer you are connecting to?

Is it only xterm which doesn't respond to mouse buttons or are other programs
affected?

Yes, it is an unfortunate deficiency of setup that only 1 previous version is
allowed.

If you still have the downloaded package, you should be able to downgrade to
1.13.0-1 using the "Install from local directory" option in setup.

This sounds like a bug, although I hope someone else would have mentioned it
if it was widespread.

Detailed and possibly accurate instructions for obtaining the source code can
be found in the Contributor's Guide at [1]
