Hi all,
I'm using a fairly old version of ViM (7.3) on Ubuntu so I wondered if
this problem
isalready known about and maybe fixed in a newer version.
The problem is that the clipboard contents appear to be getting
corrupted during a
cut/paste using the '*' register.
Way to reproduce:
1) Open two terminal windows (or two tabs in a single terminal). I can
reproduce
with both gnome terminal and mate terminal.
2) run VIM in both with no file in either window.
3) Go to one terminal ("terminal #1") and enter the following text from
line one:
This is a test
This is another test
This is yet another test
This is a fourth test
5) Go to the other terminal ("terminal #2") and enter this text from
line one:
This is a new test
This is a newer test
6) In terminal #1, go to line two, SHIFT+V, select the two middle lines,
then "*y
toyankto the clipboard. The lines yanked will be:
This is another test
This is yet another test
7) In terminal #1, :q! to exit ViM.
8) Go to terminal #2 position on line two ("This is a newer test") then "*p
The text does not paste from line three onwards, it gets merged into
line two:
This is a new test
TThis is another test
This is yet another test
his is a newer test
If terminal #1 is left open during the operation it works as expected.
If anyone
can confirm this I'd be grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Andre.
