Description EoD 2018-01-07 10:25:09 UTC

Some times (and it feels very random), vim starts behaving very oddly when I try to paste (via right-click paste and middle-mouse paste).

This also happens without a .vimrc file.

This is also probably related by using screen. It basically happens only inside of screen.


My scenario:

- I start vim, press I for insert mode and enter text in Line1 (L1), 
- Then I press enter (still being in plain insert mode) and try to paste the first line again. 

This is what happens:

> L1: This is a test
> L2: s is a test

> L1: Test test test
> L2: T test test

> L1: BTest BTest BTest
> L1: bTet BTestt BTest

The last example is the worst one as it overwrites the previous line.


First I thought that somewhere bracketed paste is enabled, but even when I do ":set t_BE=", it does not change.

It might be unrelated, but I also had some issues in my terminal (lxterminal-0.1.11) that sometimes text like "~1This is a test~0" got pasted in the terminal. But I seem to have "fixed" this by upgrading lxterminal.


Does anyone has an idea where this comes from?

Hi!

This sort of issues is way too specific for us to dig into and reproduce. Please talk to upstream and file a bug there. If the bug goes away using a more recent version of vim, let me know so that we bump vim.
