Terminal mouse focus reporting glitching tig since ncurses 6.4-20230514

ncurses 6.4-20230514 unconditionally enables focus reporting in terminals supporting SGR-mouse, but tig unfortunately doesn't know how to interpret the sequences reported back to it by the terminal, so it results in those sequences triggering key bindings such as [ etc.:

(Personally I don't think enabling focus reporting unconditionally was a good idea, but tig is the only app on my system that glitches. Others like htop work fine as long as the xterm+focus bits are included in the terminfo definition.)

This affects me too. No luck with the foot terminal and the suggestion to use the foot-extra terminfo. Nor using the latest ncurse (6.4.20230826) package.
Same with xterm.
I'd love to know any workaround
Adding the following to your .tigrc should help:
bind generic <Esc>[I :none # Ignore xterm focus events
bind generic <Esc>[O :none
I'm not sure yet whether we should fix it with this simple trick or output a \033[?1004l to revert the focus reporting activation. Let's see first if it makes it to ncurses 6.5.
Woop woop! That makes loads of sense.
I had to be careful about what I was looking for in tig. I can go back to switching windows senselessly again
Thanks a lot : )
Just wondering if this is still an issue after ncurses 6_4_20231028... Can anyone confirm ?

Not an issue any more. 🎉
Tested with the 6.4+20231118-1 that's in Debian unstable now.
