No idea, but in mintty you can hold shift to override the application's
use of the mouse. So holding shift will let you double click on words or
select text for pasting anywhere in the vim window, regardless of what
the 'mouse' option is set to. You can also :set mouse= to turn off vim's
use of the mouse, set mouse=a to turn it back on.
