Note the diff in the default at least on the Help:
Yakkety:
'mouse' string (default "", "a" for GUI, MS-DOS and Win32)
global
{not in Vi}
Zesty:
'mouse' string (default "", "a" for GUI, MS-DOS and Win32,
set to "a" in defaults.vim)
global
{not in Vi}
That matches:
https://github.com/vim/vim/blob/master/runtime/defaults.vim
>From the NEWS file on the last version:
vim (2:8.0.0022-1) unstable; urgency=medium
Vim now ships with a defaults.vim file which, when the user has no vimrc,
enables some options that have historically been disabled by default. This
is described in more detail at ":help defaults.vim".
Since defaults.vim is loaded when the user's vimrc would typically be
loaded, it will override any settings in /etc/vim/vimrc(.local). In order
to disable the loading of defaults.vim, add
let g:skip_defaults_vim = 1
to /etc/vim/vimrc(.local).

Title:
TERM=xterm enables mouse mode in vi, breaks pasting with middle mouse
Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in vim source package in Zesty:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I quite often have the following work flow:
a.) lxc launch ubuntu-daily:zesty z1
b.) lxc exec z1 /bin/bash
c.) % vi foo.txt
d.) paste some thing from my X buffer (hit middle mouse button).
Somewhere between yakkety (2:7.4.1829-1ubuntu2.1) and zesty
(2:8.0.0095-1ubuntu2) this behavior changed.
Previously this all worked fine.
Now, in zesty, however an attempt to paste results in a vi error message:
E353: Nothing in register "
to fix this, you can first disable the mouse 'a' [1]
: set mouse-=a
I'm not sure what is enabling this, because /usr/share/vim/vimrc has the line
set mouse=a commented out.
