That's odd. 'set mouse=' worked fine for me as an in-session fix and my long-term fix was to create a file at /etc/vim/vimrc.local containing: --- cut here --- " Don't silently ignore these settings in favor of those in default.vim let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1 " Middle-mouse should paste from system clipboard, NOT vim clipboard! set mouse= --- cut here --- Guess I never tried it in my own .vimrc, though, so perhaps default.vim is overriding that, then, in addition to vimrc.local. -- Dave Sherohman
