When moving mouse over inactive Kitty windows, text is selected as if the mouse button is pressed

[juztin]

While having multiple Kitty sessions/windows open (some with single sessions, some with multiple tabs—doesn't seem to matter) when moving the mouse across the screen, over inactive Kitty windows, it begins to select all text in relation to the mouse (as if I've pressed the mouse button down). The window remains inactive, but text is selected. I have to click/activate the windows to stop it _(depending on where/how the mouse is moving, it will sometimes scroll select until the mouse is moved completely out, or the window is activated and clicked to unselect.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open multiple Kitty windows
2. Open multiple tabs within the Kitty window(s) (sometimes this triggers it, sometimes not)
3. Perform an ls, or anything that display text within the sessions
4. Move mouse over all Kitty windows, some will randomly begin selecting text within the session as the mouse is moved over the inactive window

Does not reproduce for me with those steps using current kitty version
0.34.1. Since you are using wayland and there were lots of improvements
to wayland support I suggest updating kitty.
