Mismapped Sequence ESC [ > (number) p
XTERM_SPM
is mapped to both ESC [? (number) s
and ESC [> (number) p
. But only the first of those is used for mode save in xterm.
_VTE_SEQ(XTERM_SPM, CSI, 'p', GT, 0, NONE ) /* xterm-set-private-mode */
_VTE_SEQ(XTERM_SPM, CSI, 's', WHAT, 0, NONE ) /* xterm-set-private-mode */
TheESC [> (number) p
sequence is used (and documented) as configuration option for mouse pointer auto-hide.

CSI > Ps p Set resource value pointerMode. This is used by xterm to decide whether to hide the pointer cursor as the user types.
