Hello Gary, I figured out what's happening thanks to your reply. Actually what I tried to do was to disable guioption_a. The manual says when guioption_a is on, the visually selected block is automatically yanked to * register - thus to unnamed too - upon exiting visual mode.
That why the previously yanked word is overwritten before the explicit paste actually happens during the < viwp> command . It's like there is one hidden yank between <w> and <p>.
