Reason for closing: Won't fix
Additional comments about closing: In order to have a cleaner layout, the system wide settings for vim are left to a bare minimum and we do not interfere with the mouse settings anymore. Any behaviour of vim is straight out of the box.

Vim is now much closer to what vi was until recently.
This has been broken for a long time with the upstream default settings (I use chroots so my $DISPLAY isn't set then, giving the same effects as compiling without X support).
But that is the case with Vim in extra too. The report talks about some kind of "new behaviour".
The Shift + Insert method of copy and paste seems to works just fine when I copy and paste between Vim and terminal applications (or just terminal).
I'll rebuild the package with "--with-x=yes" option and see if it will change anything.
So, could we have "--with-x=yes" as a default option again? I've use namcap to check the package and the only dependency "--with-x=yes" option added is libxt. Maybe we could even add libxt as an optional dependency if the package built just fine without it?
Install gvim _also_ restored all of the old copy & paste functionalities to Vim running in terminal (obviously, since gvim is compiled with "--with-x=yes").
So, people who use Vim and want the old copy & paste behavior (especially the copy & paste functionalities between Vim in terminal and X applications) can just install gvim package and be done with it.
So, yeah... :-P
