Every time I click something on the terminal, it highlights that line or block or whatever. How do I disable this? If you look at the screenshot below, I clicked on the bottom part of the terminal and it "highlights" that entire portion.

Edit

Turns out the problem had nothing to do with Zsh; it was one of iTerm2's recent updates that was causing the problem.

I faced the same issue. After looking at the changelogs, I noticed that with version 3.5.0, a lot of features were introduced. One such feature is:

  You can click a command to select it. Search,
  Filter, and Select All will then be restricted
  to the selected command. You can disable this
  feature in Settings > General > Selection.

So to turn off the highlight, click go to Settings > General > Selection and remove the tick from Clicking on the command selects it to restrict Find and Filter
