I cannot reproduce this. I tried copying the character using yl (in Normal mode) and also by selecting with the mouse (in a gnome-terminal, not having an xterm handy). I tried pasting by using p in Normal mode and by using the middle mouse button in Insert mode. Can you be more specific about how to reproduce the problem? Does it matter whether you are running vim in an xterm or some other terminal, or in gvim? I am running vim 7.0 (no patches yet) on Linux (Fedora Core 2). HTH --Benji Fisher
