Strange paste from Vim at the click of a mouse

I use putty (on Windows 7) to connect to the shell and Vim as an editor. I also have the mouse = option included in Vim, but I get weird behavior (like random inserts of characters and / or lines) when I click on the right side of the Vim window (let's say 70% + the screen width area, where she becomes weird). I'm slowly getting used to this behavior, but I would really like to know if I can somehow fix it.

So it seems that "the original xterm mouse protocol implemented by PuTTY only supports mouse coordinates up to 223" ak2 told me about the superuser . Thus, for those who encounter such a problem, set the PuTTY window size to 95 columns - and the mouse will work just like everywhere else.
