tmux, vim, and the x-selection

[Chas. Owens]

When I run vim in tmux and select a several lines I get space padding on
the shorter lines to length of the the longest line.

When I do the same without tmux, the terminal somehow knows were the lines
stop.

Is there some way to fix this (ie let the information about where lines end
from vim passthrough to the terminal)?

I am using tmux 1.9, vim 7.4.273, and a variety of terminals:
gnome-terminal 3.6.2, urxvt 9.20, xterm 304.

Any reason not to "+y or w/e?

I think you want to disable mode-mouse, mouse-select-pane,
mouse-select-window, (and maybe) mouse-resize-pane. I generally keep these
off unless I want to interact with tmux with the mouse (hardly never - mmm,
so maybe enable - like I said, I don't do this).

Yanking to the * or + registers in vim won't work because the vim instance
is on a remote machine that doesn't support X. I am not sure what w/e is.

The problem exists regardless of whether mode-mouse, etc. are on or off.
Quick tip for people with mode-mouse, etc. on: holding down shift disables
them allowing you to perform an X selection (of course, X knows nothing
about any splits, so you might want to zoom the pane, resize-pane -Z, if
you have splits).
