I completely agree with Gabriel on this one. All of a sudden the mouse default changed and it took me a while to understand why vim had become so annoying all of a sudden.
I don't feel suddenly changing this is a good move, even though it respects what upstream does. To me, this breaks user space big time and makes it harder to use vim. Each and every time I load vim on a computer that is not mine I have to make sure to disable the mouse and this can get very annoying when you maintain a lot of desktop clients in an office. Thanks for the work maintaining this package btw. -- pollo On Sat, 24 Jun 2017 21:59:58 -0400 James McCoy <james...@debian.org> wrote: > On Sat, Jun 24, 2017 at 09:25:17PM -0400, Gabriel Filion wrote: > > The default value for the mouse global variable has been changed from empty > > string to "a" starting from stretch. > > > > This is annoying and does not respect what is documented as the upstream > > default value: > > > > 'mouse' string (default "", "a" for GUI, MS-DOS and Win32, > > set to "a" in defaults.vim) > > It does respect upstream's default.
