If you want to use a mouse with Vim, why don't you use Gvim ?
I've had a desktop devoted to Gvim always open for many years.



I guess I'll need to downgrade packages till I find the one causing the change in the 
behaviour. I was thinking to start with vim and libinput.


Looks like it's a terminal issue, not vim. Same vim version executed from urxvt instead of 
lxterminal has no problems with point and click.

Could be an option but being an embedded software developer I got used to vim in a text 
console and would like to keep it that way.

No problem with Gvim.  With raw Vim in a Konsole or Xterm
scrolling moves the pointer  3  lines, but clicking doesn't move it ;
with ':set mouse=a' in raw Vim, the pointer moves with a click,
but scrolling scrolls the full display.
