not exactly - if it's using wheel mouse (buttons 4/5) those should be
sent continuously. xterm isn't necessarily going to keep up with
a continuous stream of events, so there could be a buildup of events
making xterm not seem to do much for a while. I made some improvements
to filter out duplicate window movement/resizing, but that shouldn't be
related.
I was working on other bugs for a while, came back to the blind-keys
issue. I think I understand it well enough to attempt a fix. Essentially
what (I think) is the problem is that the input method which handles
compose is not attached to the scrollbar and toolbar area. I'll see
if I can do that, to wrap up #277 changes.
