Latest nuget release 1.17.1

I cannot reproduce this issue with the updated v1_develop branch. Can you please try with it? Perhaps some fix that were not yet been published to the nuget package. Don't forget to call Application.Shutdown on exit because the mouse events will echoed to the terminal.

Please can you test with https://www.nuget.org/packages/Terminal.Gui/2.0.0-v2-develop.1531

This is the latest v2 package (version numbers are currently messed up on v2) see #3779

I suspect this is parsing of ansi and probably environmental.

Same issue with v1_develop, are you trying to reproduce with Intel or Silicon based Mac?

[BDisp]

Intel with VM macOS Monterey. It's the only I could install on my laptop with a Windows 11 host.

Are you sure you're calling Application.Shutdown on exit the app? Not doing that and if you're reutilizing the terminal to launch the app again will cause mouse events to echoing in the terminal.

using Terminal.Gui;

Application.Init();

var textField = new TextField()
{
    Width = 48,
    Height = 1,
    ColorScheme = Colors.Error
};

Application.Top.Add(textField);

Application.Run();

Application.Shutdown();

[tznind]

Please try Application.UseSystemConsole = true (do this before Init).

[kacperpikacz]

@BDisp thats correct. Im using Application.Shutdown()

[kacperpikacz]

Please try Application.UseSystemConsole = true (do this before Init).

No issue with latest v1_develop & Application.UseSystemConsole = true

[tznind]

No issue with latest v1_develop & Application.UseSystemConsole = true

So this is likely a bug in our driver implementation CursesDriver. But that driver is going to be discontinued soon. I always recommend NetDriver (UseSystemConsole) as it is generally much more reliable - being based on c sharp native methods e.g. Console.WriteLine instead of Curses interop.

It would be good to try different consoles e.g. iterm2 etc
