I got a pterm into a stuck state this morning by an accidental mouse action. I'd intended to press Ctrl + right-click to pop up the context menu, but I accidentally pressed down the left button first, starting a selection drag, and then while the left button was still held down, pressed down the right button as well, triggering the menu. The effect was that the context menu appeared while term->selstate was set to DRAGGING, in which state terminal output is suppressed, and which is only unset by a mouse-button release event. But then that release event went to the popup menu, and the terminal window never got it. So the terminal stayed stuck forever - or rather, until I guessed the cause and did another selection drag to reset it. This happened to me on GTK, but once I knew how I'd done it, I found I could reproduce the same misbehaviour on Windows by the same method. Added a simplistic fix, on both platforms, that cancels a selection drag if the popup menu is summoned part way through it.
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
