According to ":help 'paste'", setting paste is not necessary in gvim,
nor in a terminal where Vim handles the mouse clicks itself. So: are you
sure you're using the same terminal as a few months ago? Are the mouse
actions (when Vim runs in that terminal) handled by the terminal or
passed to Vim? Does it make a difference if you use "*P rather than
middle-click (or than the terminal's Edit => Paste menu if any)?

Best regards,
Tony.
