Hi all :) A time ago I posted a message about a problem I was having with the clipboard and Vim 7.2. After updating to 7.3 I checked to see if the problem had vanished. I'm using console-only Vim 7.3-3, self compiled, under Ubuntu Linux 10.04 with X Window System.
Here is how I reproduce it: - I selected and copied the text "David Gómez" from a GMail message shown in Google Chrome. The problem only happens with that combination, Google Chrome and Vim. - From a terminal: $ xclip -selection primary -o | od -Ax -tx1 000000 44 61 76 69 64 20 47 c3 b3 6d 65 7a 00000c $ xclip -selection clipboard -o | od -Ax -tx1 000000 44 61 76 69 64 20 47 c3 b3 6d 65 7a 00000c As you can see, both the primary and the clipboard selections have the same text, the UTF-8 representation of "David Gómez". Now, I paste the text into an empty "vim -u NONE", using "+po<ESC>"*p and the screen shows this: David Gómez David Gómez ~ ~ ... As you can see the first text is pasted incorrectly, the second, correctly. Here is the output of ":registers" --- Registers --- "* David Gómez "+ David Gómez Again, it is shown that the "+" register is coded incorrectly. After this, I tried to paste the default clipboard (that is, the one that gets pasted usually with Ctrl-V) in many different applications without any problem. As shown by "xclip", both selections have exactly the same text, the same bytes, but Vim is treating them differently. Probably the problem is a Google Chrome one, but since only Vim shows this behaviour I don't know what to think. If somebody could give me another example of this problem (or reproduce it) I would be happy to report the problem to the Google people.
