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.

I can add an example value here to make it more obvious what the path
is.

Yes, it is what you're looking for, since that's what influences the
behavior when there's no user vimrc. See ":help defaults.vim" and
previous discussion in #842833.
