I have used this under the same configuration with the exception that
I ssh'ed from Ubuntu Desktop to Ubuntu Server rather than localhost to
confirm it.  I see a distinction between visual highlighting with vim
(v + cursor movement) and terminal highlighting (for lack of a better
description) with the mouse.  I can seemingly have the both
independently active.

I think the configuration is pretty stock -- nothing that affects
selection at least.
