I use tmux 1.8 with putty. I often copy stuff to the tmux paste buffer using mouse select and then paste using middle click. However, on a new computer, the following issue is happening: when I click the middle mouse button on different panes, it only works on one of them and fails to paste in the rest. The oddest thing is that the one pane I can paste in is the first pane in that window and I can't paste in any of the others, regardless of which pane I copied from.

How wide is your terminal? Standard mouse mode only supports a limited number of columns and 1.8 may be too old for SGR mode.

  • My old setup which was working without issues had 346 columns on a maximized tmux while my new one has 318 columns. I normally work with an equal vertical split

  • Are you running tmux in the same terminal and the same terminal version?
