I can confirm something like this.
Usually if I select some text anywhere (in any application), then open
gvim, open a file, I can paste the original selection right into it.
But not so with .tex-files. When those are opened, the copy-paste-buffer
is overwritten with the content of the file. So when it’s a new .tex
file a single empty line would be pasted.

Hope this helps tracking the issue.
best regards,
Bodo
