Oh I know what’s happening here, the option+click is trying to move the cursor. To workaround this you should set terminal.integrated.altClickMovesCursor to false. I think this is a bug upstream where we should be ignoring terminal.integrated.altClickMovesCursor if terminal.integrated.macOptionClickForcesSelection is set AND mouse events are enabled in the terminal.
