Bug#837880: vim: Unable to globally disable mouse

[Salvo Tomaselli]

Package: vim
Version: 2:8.0.0003-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I wasn't done with the other bug, so here's a new one.

It apparently is impossible to globally disable the mouse.

This

# echo set mouse=\"\" >> /etc/vim/vimrc

has no effect whatsoever, if the users don't have their own local 
~/.vimrc, which is not what I would expect from a system wide
configuration file.

Best
