Oh yes. This helps. \o/ I have put it into my ~/.vimrc now. After this nudge i dimly remember to have seen this "set t_BE=" before. Grrr. In 2021 i wrote in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2021/12/msg00680.html Balasubramanian Ravuthan wrote: > > 5.

So the "set mouse=" was just a red herring in my old ~/.vimrc. Well, it is mentioned in the enlightening stackexchange post, too. I meanwile even booted debian-live-11.1.0-amd64-xfce.iso just to learn that the dreaded behavior indeed is present after: apt-get update apt-get install vim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Now i wonder where i might have put "set t_BE=" on the Debian 11 system: I have mounted the system disk image which i made before the upgrade for the case of a fatal outcome. But i cannot find a place where i have set t_BE= (or even mouse=). At best i commented out mouse=a in the old /etc/vim/vimrc. I tried fgrep t_BE= /mnt/ext4/home/*/.vimrc fgrep -r t_BE= /mnt/ext4/etc/vim fgrep -r t_BE= /mnt/ext4/usr/share/vim/ | less Any ideas where else i could have done the magic 2 years ago ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
