Hello Gian Piero,

$ cat /usr/local/share/vim/vim82/defaults.vim | grep mouse | grep -v "\""
if has('mouse')
    set mouse=a
    set mouse=nvi

$ cat /usr/local/share/vim/vim90/defaults.vim | grep mouse | grep -v "\""
if has('mouse')
    set mouse=a
    set mouse=nvi

Look the same. The first example is from vim-console-8.2.2569.

In all the computers I mentioned I do have my own .vimrc file, all of
which have been copy/pasted or scp-d from some setup which I made years
ago as follows:

From vim-console-8.2.2569:

syntax off
colo koehler
set ruler
set showmode
set tabstop=8
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.py syntax on
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.py set ai
set nomodeline
" Map time stamp to F3
imap <F3> <C-R>=strftime("%Y%m%d%I%M")<CR>

From vim-8.2.5052/vim-9.0.0129:

syntax off
colo koehler
set ruler
set showmode
set tabstop=8
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.py syntax on
autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.py set ai
set nomodeline
" Map time stamp to F3
imap <F3> <C-R>=strftime("%Y%m%d%I%M")<CR>

" Make copy/paste with mouse work correctly
" and disable VISUAL mode (20220811)
set mouse-=a
