I am very used to using the double click of the mouse in a terminal to copy a word, such as a file name, then using the middle click of the mouse in a different terminal to paste.

However, this behavior does not seem to work under Fedora 24 when using vim. If I double click in a vim session it only selects one segment of the filename and it doesn't actually copy that piece to the clipboard because I can't paste it with the middle click.

Is there some setting in vim that causes this behavior (so I may disable it)? If I use \vi file copy-paste works normally but I lose syntax highlighting.

I'm using Fedora 24 and vim version 2:8.0.124-2.fc24. I have the following packages installed: vim-common, vim-enhanced, fimvim-filesystem, vim-minimal.
