Hi All,
After upgrading to LFS 8.0, I've found that the vim's mouse copy and paste
stopped working as expected.
What is happening is the mouse option is being set to 'a' despite /etc/vimrc
having mouse=r.
It turns out that /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim is overwriting /etc/vimrc
settings
if the user does not have a local .vimrc file.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1401410
The work around is to add the following line to /etc/vimrc:
let skip_defaults_vim=1

Many thanks for that, Wayne! IIUC, your workaround wipes out all the
defaults from default.vim. Can't some of those be useful? Actually, IIUC
again, having .vimrc in $HOME wipes them out too. OK (should have read
that first), it is all explained in the bug report you mention. I think
this needs an explanation on the vim page. I'd be inclined to add "let
skip_defaults_vim=1" in the proposed /etc/vimrc, with a comment in the
text explaining that it prevents /usr/share/vim/vim80/defaults.vim from
being used, and enjoining to look at that file and copy the lines that
the user finds useful to /etc/vimrc.
Regards
Pierre
