Problem Statement

Title: Make permission prompts click-safe when fullscreen mouse capture is on

Environment: Claude Code CLI v2.1.209, Windows 11, Windows Terminal + PowerShell, "tui": "fullscreen".

Problem: In fullscreen TUI mode, mouse capture is enabled - which I want, for click-to-position-cursor. But the same capture means any click on a select menu chooses the row under the cursor, and on permission prompts option 1 ("Yes") is the highlighted default. So when I click the terminal window simply to give it focus (e.g., after switching windows to see a pending prompt), it auto-approves as if I pressed "1." This is a real safety concern for users in Manual permission mode who rely on prompts for oversight. (Drag-selecting text also auto-copies via the app rather than the terminal.)

Proposed Solution

Request - any one of these would fix it:

1. Don't pre-highlight a default option on permission prompts, or add a highlighted no-op "standby/keep prompt up" default so a stray click lands harmlessly.
2. Treat the click that activates the window as focus-only, and don't count it as a menu selection.
3. A setting to disable mouse handling for menus/prompts only, while keeping click-to-position-cursor in the input box.
