I had actually tried this before, but I didn't use the register, instead I used `"' in "C-r" and it didn't work. I thought using register and `"' should be the same because `"' is a register too. Because of your email I tried it again with `"' and still not work, I then followed exactly your steps and worked. I then tried it in Vim and got exactly the same results. But I really don't understand why regular register worked but `"' as register doesn't work.
