I've updated my OS to El Capitan, on a MacBookPro. When I use vim in a bash shell, the cursor is odd. It appears as a cross, no longer as a vertical line, and, although I can still highlight stuff, I cannot copy or cut anything.

In your `.vimrc` comment out the mouse, e.g.: `" set mouse=a`. or press `CMD-R`. – clt60 Feb 10 '16 at 05:45

In El Capitan, Apple modified Terminal.app to recognize some of the xterm mouse protocol. Unlike xterm, you cannot use shift while selecting/pasting to temporarily bypass the feature (reportedly you can use FN), or you can simply turn it off in the applications that enable it, such as vim.
