You have the problem with every TeX file you open?
From your message, it sounds like the major problem is that "+p and "*p
are not functioning the same in TeX files as they do elsewhere. Correct?
That is, middle-click activates "*p as designed, but "*p isn't grabbing
your primary selection (which is what you would prefer). Correct?
I don't have this problem on my machine. My :version reports:
VIM - Vi IMproved 7.3 (2010 Aug 15, compiled Jul 13 2012 05:24:27)
Included patches: 1-600
Compiled by ArchLinux
along with several features included and excluded, including
+X11
-xfontset
+xim
+xterm_clipboard
-xterm_save
I don't recall what all of those features are, but I believe that some
(most definitely +xterm_clipboard) affect the handling of "*p and "+p.
I did a git grep through the vim-latex repo for things that I thought
might be related, but I didn't see anything that caught my eye.
Are you sure there's no other tex-specific settings you have? Say in
your ftplugin/tex? (I don't even know what sort of setting you would
look for; as far as I know (??), the semantics of "*p and "+p are
hard-coded at compile time)
