Hmm. Then this is something xterm-color has or omits that xterm does not. It could be several things:
- Terminal.app bug. - Part of xterm-color is Just Wrong for Terminal.app. - Something tmux is emulating that it needs because xterm-color doesn't have it (probably unlikely, xterm-color has most things) and tmux has a bug. You can run tmux with -vvvv and compare the part of the output file for triggering the problem between xterm and xterm-color. The right TERM for Terminal.app is supposed to be nsterm although it sets xterm-color itself.
