Sucks, doesn't it? Uhm. No it doesn't. I hate how gvim moves the cursor when I click in it with a mouse (I just want to select the text to paste into evolution or firefox, not move my editing cursor) and I have three buttons for a reason :-) (Unlike the vim-minimal split, I understand that vim's interaction with the mouse is a matter of personal taste.) -Toshio
