I using emacs-nox with Ubuntu 16.04LTS.
The problem I'm facing is that whenever my mouse cursor is hovering over the terminal window, I experience very stuttery cursor movement.

As you can see in the first gif the mouse cursor is rapidly blinking on and off.
Perhaps it is because I have my cursor movement keys bound to the Alt key.
Up = Alt-i Down = Alt-k Left = Alt-j Right = Alt-l

Does anyone know how to go about fixing this annoyance, or perhaps a work-around?

  • Do you see this when starting Emacs using `emacs -Q` (no init file)? – Drew Apr 05 '18 at 01:21
  • Yes, same exact behavior. – John DeBord Apr 05 '18 at 01:50

    Offhand that sounds like a terminal problem rather than an Emacs problem. Have you attempted to reproduce this issue (or similar) when running things other than Emacs? Have you tested this in a different terminal emulator? (Ideally not one based on the same code as the one you're currently using.) – phils Apr 05 '18 at 03:27
  • If you haven't already done so, you can surely confirm or reject your `Alt` key hypothesis very easily, and update the question accordingly. – phils Apr 05 '18 at 03:30
