Why do mate-terminal, xfce4-terminal and mc behave like this in gnome-terminal 2.33.99 and in general what terminals do people use?

I ran into this question when I switched from CentOS EL6 to the current Calculate Desktop 17. After installing TDE (there is an assumption that it is very crooked), when you start mate-terminal and xfce4-terminal, the same thing happens - when you start, they almost shrink up to the width of the menu in width and two lines in height (in the figures), when the window is stretched, artifacts in the form of stripes are clearly visible, which do not disappear by themselves, disappear only after the window is moved.
It spun and twirled for a long time, like a cockroach in a frying pan, until it adapted to gnome-terminal 2.33. There were no problems when working with EL6 centos, Synology on the 3.x kernel, QNAP, VmWare hosts. But when working with consoles on my own machine :), on one of the new servers, where the same Calculate Linux Server 17 is installed and with the new Synology on the 4.x kernel, I noticed that mc in gnome-terminal behaves strangely:
- the mouse does not work. From the word at all. And everything works in xterm.
- when you try to enter the "-" (minus) symbol in the command line, the Unselect window appears
- (most important!) - when switching to the terminal window, there is a 2-3 second delay (until the cursor blinks once). If you start typing something, the delay will be longer, up to 5-10 seconds. It really pissed me off.
Like this5b6a79c91f41e980997473.pnglooks like running mate=terminal.
This is 5b6a7a1701a69285200414.pngwhat it looks like trying to stretch it.
This is 5b6a7a3b776bc465239264.pnghow xfce4-terminal launch looks like - they are very similar and the glitch is the same.
I didn’t really want to understand it, I didn’t really want to study the giblets of xterm - though even less, but I had to. As a result, .Xresources came out like this:

Actually there are two questions:
- Is there a chance to make a menu on the right button in xterm? Now you have to take your hand off the mouse to copy
- Are there any other terminals besides xterm, gnome-terminal, mate-terminal, xfce4-terminal? Who uses what terminal?
