I suppose you do not use gvim to copy and paste but instead rely on native X-Windows facilities. In fact Middle-Click is what pastes in X by default (left button selects).
I suppose the difference in the part with the reverse video and the underlined part is just the standout mode of the terminal. To confirm this try opening another terminal and copy/select something from there. It should use reverse video to signify the selection.
I hope this helps.

I have a linux Enterprise Server Version 3 (ES) . It does not have Gvim on it. Can someone tell me how I can get Gvim on it please. I have spent a fair bit of time researching this and have not figured it out. I am probably missing something simple.

vimtutor
VIMTUTOR(1) General Commands Manual VIMTUTOR(1)
NAME
vimtutor - the Vim tutor
SYNOPSIS
vimtutor [-g] [language]
DESCRIPTION
Vimtutor starts the Vim tutor. It copies the tutor file first, so that it can be modified without changing the original file.
The Vimtutor is useful for people that want to learn their first Vim commands.
The optional argument -g starts vimtutor with gvim rather than vim, if the GUI version of vim is available, or falls back to Vim if gvim is
not found.
The optional [language] argument is the two-letter name of a language, like "it" or "es". If the [language] argument is missing, the lan-
guage of the current locale will be used. If a tutor in this language is available, it will be used. Otherwise the English version will
be used.
Vim is always started in Vi compatible mode.
FILES
/usr/share/vim/vim73/tutor/tutor[.language]
The Vimtutor text file(s).
/usr/share/vim/vim73/tutor/tutor.vim
The Vim script used to copy the Vimtutor text file.
AUTHOR
The Vimtutor was originally written for Vi by Michael C. Pierce and Robert K. Ware, Colorado School of Mines using ideas supplied by
Charles Smith, Colorado State University. E-mail: bware@mines.colorado.edu.
It was modified for Vim by Bram Moolenaar. For the names of the translators see the tutor files.
