Can't pass a right-click to a program under gnome-terminal

[BattlePanic]

I would like to pass a right-click mouse event to a program (Midnight Commander) that I have running under gnome-terminal. This is the first time I've run into this program as I don't typically use the mouse to interact with terminal-based programs.

Right-clicking only seems to bring up a context menu for gnome-terminal. As a test, I tried using xterm instead of gnome-terminal and under xterm I am able to pass right-click mouse events. Any thoughts on how to enable this for gnome-terminal?

I'd like to be able to do this too
