I'm in iterm on my mac.
I ssh to a freebsd machine
I use vim on a file.
I used to be able to use the mouse on my mac to copy a few lines into 
the cut buffer..  slide-shift-click etc..
now suddenly if I try highlight some code in vim to copy it vim drags 
stuff around, scrolls up and down, deletes stuff and generally makes a 
mess.
if click, instead of starting a copy zone it grabs some of the text.

basically it makes hte mouse useless.
I can;t copy and paste from a file I'm ediitng. I end up having to 
exit vim and do it in vi.
