I ssh to a freebsd machine I use vim on a file. I used to be able to use the mouse on my mac to copy a few lines into the cut buffer.. slide-shift-click etc.. now suddenly if I try highlight some code in vim to copy it vim drags stuff around, scrolls up and down, deletes stuff and generally makes a mess. if click, instead of starting a copy zone it grabs some of the text. basically it makes hte mouse useless. I can;t copy and paste from a file I'm ediitng. I end up having to exit vim and do it in vi. > >
