When running a terminal emulator with the termcap kmous=\E[< and starting
screen detached, it produces invalid SGR sequences. After enabling SGR
reporting I see that the terminal program receives something that resembles
SGR sequences, but they start with \e[M instead of \e[<. If I run the same
outside of screen, the sequences start with \e[<.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a terminal emulator with kmous=\E[< e.g. a recent version of xterm.
2. Start screen with: screen -d -m sh
3. Attach with: screen -r
4. Run: printf "\e[?1006h\e[?1000h" && cat -v
5. Click with the mouse
6. Observe that the sequences start with ^[[M
If you instead start screen initially attached with screen sh, and run the
same you see that the sequences instead start with ^[[< as they should. The
same occurs outside of screen.
