Package: vim
Version: 2:8.2.4793-1
Severity: normal

I just switched from an "old" machine (installed ~ 5 years ago) to a
new machine. Suddenly I could no longer insert with the middle mouse
button as root on the console.

If I run (after startup) "set mouse=r" (or n) then it worked, but I
did not want to run this manual every time.

So I put this in /etc/vim/vimrc, but nothing changed, i.e. only
"strange" pasting (not the selected string from another console as
expected). Also "mouse=" did not work.

If I create ~/.vim/vimrc with the single entry
set mouse=
then it works again.

So somehow /etc/vim/vimrc seems to be ignored (at least for this
setting). 

If you want me to do some specific testing, please tell me.
