xfce4-terminal: cannot paste into remote vim in ssh session

Hi,

Whenever I try to paste something into vim on a remote server via ssh, the cursor eats some characters, uppercases some characters and then jums to the beginning of the line.

The problem occurs when using the middle mouse button and when using paste from the terminal menue. Also, setting ":set paste" or ":set mouse=a" and friends do not change this.
Vim on the remote box is pretty much standard CentOS vim 7.2.x

I already tried different TERM settings (usually it would be xterm-256color) and tweaked around the compatibility settings in xfce4-terminal's settings, but to no avail.

I'm out of ideas, so any idea is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Sven

Sorry if this is too silly - but is the remove vim in Insert mode when you paste?

Yes, sure.

I know my vim and it perfectly works with the urxvt I just set up.
Just with xfce4-terminal I keep having this problem.
