The problem is that the old way of crap-disabling does not work here.

I can perform in the vim session
  :set mouse=
and verify that the setting is in effect, as far as "set" is concerned:
  :set mouse?
shows in the base line:
  mouse=
But the behavior is still not mouse agnostic (where mouse paste = keyboard
strokes).

For verification of my old vim knowledge i ask for full GUI:
  :set mouse=a
Then ":set mouse?" yields
  mouse=a

"mouse=a" is handcopied, because one cannot copy and paste that text.
I fully agree that vim GUI mousing is annoying, obtrusive, capricious,
counterintuitive, ... wheeze ... cough ...

I can write "set mouse=..." lines into my ~/.vimrc and their effect shows
up with ":set mouse?" in the vim session. But the effect on mouse pasting
just switches between two undesirable modes.

Does not help here. :(

Seems to be about a problem with copying out of vim, not with pasting in.
I tried the proposals, nevertheless, and they did not help.


Have a nice day :)
