Apologies for posting here - could not create a new issue on google code. This
issue applies to builds made with the latest tag and the original 7-4 tag (both
32-bit and 64-bit). It applies to all builds I have made myself or found on
the internet with the exception of the original 7.4 32-bit official release
(quite old at this point).
On x64 Windows 8.1 (it works fine on x64 Windows 7) vim/gvim works fine with
the windows clipboard until you launch a web browser (chrome, firefox, opera,
ie). When the browser is running, vim can place text on the clipboard but
cannot get text from the clipboard. When the web browser is closed, the
clipboard starts working again.
I have tracked the problem down to IsClipboardFormatAvailable(CF_UNICODETEXT)
returning non-NULL but GetClipboardData(CF_UNICODETEXT) returning NULL under
these conditions. I'm guessing it is specific to how vim is using the win32 api
(probably different calls than these) because simple test apps that I write
doing this work fine.
I have tried running with different compatibility settings and running as
administrator but nothing makes a difference. This behavior is the same for
both 32-bit and 64-bit builds created using Visual Studio 2013 Community and
2010 Professional.
I have used the build scripts given here (I'm not the blog author):

I am happy to assist in anyway I can.
