Is your selection on a line, a sentence or paragraph?

A paragraph can have several sentences, a sentence several lines, a line
several words. These entities all have their own 'nouns' in the VIM
command language.

It depends what VIM-command is behind the tripple-click.

'yy' copies the entire line, also parts that flow forth on new lines
below

'ys' copies the sentence up to the period or whatever mark you set for
the type of file

'yg$' copies til the end of the line with visual characters, but not the
hidden newline. On sentences that flow over several lines this copies
only the line the cursor is on from the cursor position til the enod of
line.

Using the keyboard will give you more control.
