I am using gVim 7.3 on Windows x64 platform. Yes, I want to replace a word at the cursor position by another word yanked from a different position. I thought viwp followed by yiw and cursor movement is a well-known sequence of key strokes for this purpose. Sorry for my previous imprecise description. With clipboard=unnamed and guioptions=a set, I found out there happens a hidden yank between viw( visually selecting a word ) and p( overwriting the selected visual block with previously yanked word ) both to the unnamed register and the os clipboard register. So it looks like my previously yanked word just disappears from the register. But I don't think it's a bug or something because it operates as specified in guioption=autoselect section of vim documentation. With guioptions=a unset, this problem has gone.
