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.
