When working on GNU screen with Vim, I am not able to adjust the split window sizes with mouse. All the rest mouse actions work fine in Vim (scrolling, selecting text, etc with mouse).I generally have se mouse=n in my .vimrc. Adjusting the window buffer sizes outside GNU screen works perfectly fine.

Here is the vim information:

    This did the trick for me. Mouse is completely active inside vim in GNU screen.

    :set ttymouse=xterm2
