This isn't a bug in either program.  This behavior is because the yank
you performed just placed the text in X's PRIMARY selection.  This is
used for visual selections.  If you want the text to be in X's CLIPBOARD
(so you can use an application's "paste" operation), you should yank the
text into the "+ register.  E.g., to yank a line into the + register,
use:

"+yy

Vim's quoteplus help section (:help quoteplus) describes the difference
in behavior between "+ and "*.

:help y
