It may be that the 'mouse' option is not set on your Ubuntu vim when
using ssh. Try
:set mouse=a
and see if that works. If not, then check that the version of vim
on Ubuntu supports the mouse. Execute
:version
and check that it is not the tiny or small version and that +mouse
and not -mouse appears in the list of features. I know that
Ubuntu's standard vim does not support X, but other than that,
I don't know what Ubuntu vim package supports what. I always
install vim-gtk so I have everything.
