It may be that the 'mouse' option is not set on your Ubuntu vim when
using ssh.  Try

    :set mouse=a

and see if that works.  If not, then check that the version of vim
on Ubuntu supports the mouse.  Execute

    :version

and check that it is not the tiny or small version and that +mouse
and not -mouse appears in the list of features.  I know that
Ubuntu's standard vim does not support X, but other than that,
I don't know what Ubuntu vim package supports what.  I always
install vim-gtk so I have everything.

Regards,
Gary
