"+y and "*y are both documented (and supposed) to work identically on
Windows. On Unix they have different (documented) meanings... but you
aren't on Unix. If one of them doesn't work on your Windows system, it
may be because one of your config files interferes -- in that case it is
not a bug ut a user error. If "+y (double-quote then plus then y)
doesn't work when you start Vim as
"C:\Program Files\vim\vim72\gvim.exe" -N -u NONE
or as
cd "C:\Program Files\vim\vim72"
set VIM=
set VIMRUNTIME=
gvim.exe -N -u vimrc_example.vim -U NONE
(in both cases with the quotes where shown) then it may be a bug. If it
does work when you start Vim in one of these ways, then there's probably
something in one of your Vim config files that gets in the way when you
start Vim normally.
Best regards,
Tony.
