Hi Thomas,

I see the opposite. In Debian 11 using
  vim/oldstable,now 2:8.2.2434-3+deb11u1 amd64
running in an xterm
After
  :set mouse=
I see that middle-mouse-button paste of number 123
does insert the characters 123 at the text cursor position.

I can only achieve what you want by pressing the ':' key
and then using middle-mouse-button to paste number
123 and then press enter key. This works the same with
both :set mouse=a and :set mouse=

I cant see any way to get the old behaviour you describe,
if anyone knows how to achieve that then I'm interested
to know, it never occurred to me that would work the
way you describe.
