Q&A Where did xterm's ctrl-middle-mouse-button menu go?

I'm using xterm version 395-1, on Arch Linux, with i3 window manager. I like xterm because it's fast, and I can configure things like "what characters are in a word when you double click on a word"...

Where did xterm's ctrl-middle-mouse-button menu go?
I'm using xterm version 395-1, on Arch Linux, with i3 window manager. I like xterm because it's fast, and I can configure things like "what characters are in a word when you double click on a word", "triple-click goes from work to end-of-line". I probably won't abandon xterm any time soon. However!

Sometime in the last year or so, the ctrl-middle-mouse-button menu quit showing up. I'm not entirely certain when it quit showing up, but I miss it. Important things like "reset" and "dump all history" were on that menu, and do not appear in ctrl-left-mouse-button or ctrl-right-mouse-button menus.

How do I get this menu back?
