Hi! to all the answering people on X11-Displays.

Having some of those 'losts' too I want to throw in, that
very often a 'clipboard manager' is running in background
and is complicating the debugging (even bringing the tests
of vim to fail). Those managers grab incoming changes from
@* _AND_ @+, and put, if enabled, the latest change into
both, then keep on to service the contents 'forever' (as
long as the service is running).  The exact working of the
different managers of different 'desktop's (like 'gnome',
'kde', or 'xfce') or of other independent ones like 'diodon'
may behave slightly different, but always keeping @+ along.

So to be sure, to see what 'vim' does itself, make
absolutely sure _NOT_ to run such a beast, while
compiling/debugging vim!  Lest you get 'flaky' results
depending on desktop situation.  On 'plain X11' clipboard
'@+' is always lost, when the program, which created/keeps
the contents is going away.
