Package: w3m
Version: 0.5.1-3
Severity: normal

I normally have "Enable mouse" set to "NO" in w3m's options, so that if
I use the mouse in an xterm with w3m, I get the normal xterm behavior.
This does work, and it does save "use_mouse 0" in .w3m/config, but after
a while, the mouse is mysteriously re-enabled. If I use w3m long enough,
this can happen several times during a single session.

This is not an interaction between several instances of w3m touching the
config file - it happens even if I'm only running one instance.

I've not observed a particular combination of inputs which make this
happen, but whatever the cause, it occurs frequently enough that I can
easily see this bug several times an hour. I do tend to click frequently
in my xterms (and elsewhere) due to a complex motor tic (which is why I
disable mouse input in the first place), which may have something to do
with this.

This bug is not new - I've observed it at least as far back as version
0.3-2.4, but I haven't done anything about it until now.
