I started looking for things I might be doing to the mouse on my system. I stopped True X-Mouse and the problem went away. I don't recall seeing the problem until recently and I've run True X-Mouse for years, but apparently the problem is with the interaction between it and gvim. Gvim enters insert mode on the mouse-up event at the end of the first drag. Subsequent dragging of the separator toggles between replace mode and insert mode. It happens when dragging a horizontal separator as well. I don't know how to troubleshoot it easily, so I'll live with it until I get frustrated and/or inspired. And of course it may be a problem with True X-Mouse that's always been there and which can't be fixed within Vim. Thanks for looking at it.
