  • Recent versions of Vim added bracketed pasting in xterms. The initial implementation was less than perfect, and a number of bugs were fixed in subsequent patches. So if you're running a recent version but not the latest, you may be affected by said bugs. FWIW. Commented Jan 31, 2017 at 20:38
  • @SatoKatsura It is not bracketed pasting...it does not copy anything at all. Commented Jan 31, 2017 at 20:59
  • Out of curiosity, how did you conclude it isn't related to bracketed pasting? Commented Jan 31, 2017 at 21:04
  • @SatoKatsura It completely ignores the copy operation. The paste returns the previous copy before the intended. Commented Jan 31, 2017 at 21:09

    Yup, this sounds quite similar to a problem reported to vim_dev. It turned out it was related to bracketed pasting. It certainly isn't normal behavior, so feel free to post a bug report if you think it's something else. Commented Jan 31, 2017 at 21:12
