Hi John,

thanks a lot for your reply and the time you've invested.

After i invoked

vim -u NONE -N -c 'set ttym=urxvt mousemodel=extend mouse=a'

vim's response to mouse events were just like expected. After this
surprise i tried to narrow down the error with

vim --noplugin -c 'set ttym=urxvt mousemodel=extend mouse=a'

Started vim with this setting the mouse behavior is broken again.

So it seems for me that there is a setting in one of these filenames
returned by ':scriptnames':

1: ~/.vimrc
2: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/filetype.vim
3: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin.vim
4: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim
5: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/syntax/synload.vim
6: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syncolor.vim
7: ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim
8: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/ftoff.vim
9: ~/.vim/bundle/UltiSnips-2.2/ftdetect/UltiSnips.vim
10: ~/.vim/bundle/UltiSnips-2.2/ftdetect/snippets.vim
11: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/ftplugin/man.vim
12: /usr/local/share/vim/vim73/syntax/nosyntax.vim
13: ~/.vim/bundle/vim-colors-solarized/colors/solarized.vim

which breaks the correct behavior of the mouse.

Unfortunately i don't know how to debug the startup of vim and which
setting could interfere with the mouse settings.

Maybe someone has an idea!?

Thanks for your time and with best regards

Johannes
