Mouse interactions do not appear to be working properly

[dparnell]

Which operating system does the issue occur on?

Windows 10 client connecting to a Linux 16.04 machine via ssh

Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure that dialog is installed
2. Execute dialog --yesno Testing 10 30
3. Attempt to use the mouse to click on either the Yes or No button. Nothing happens

Expected bahavior:

Clicking on either of the buttons should cause the dialog process to exit

Does this work in native cmd?
Does it work with native windows programs that interact with the mouse? (Not over SSH)

I just tried it using a ssh connection from a Poweshell window and it does not work there either.
I'll have to see if I can find a windows command line app that does mouse interaction.

Here's a test case that works using cmd.exe but not with alacritty.exe:

1. Run bash
2. Run tmux
3. Make sure tmux mouse mode is on: <Leader> :set -g mouse on
4. Run dialog --yesno Testing 10 30
5. Verify clicking works using cmd.exe
6. Detach tmux: <Leader> d
7. open alacritty.exe
8. Run bash
9. Run tmux a
10. Run dialog --yesno Testing 10 30
11. Verify the same does not work in alacritty.

There's a few simpler test cases too.
Open bash through cmd.exe and test vim scrolling. Do the same in alacritty.exe and see that vim won't receive any mouse input.

The mouse works as expected on other platforms (Linux and MacOS) so this is a Windows issue
