I actually forgot that I had a workaround for the issue (!?):

" work-around to copy selected text to system clipboard
" and prevent it from clearing clipboard when using ctrl + z (depends on xsel)
function! CopyText()
normal gv"+y
:call system('xsel -ib', getreg('+'))
endfunction
vmap <leader>y :call CopyText()<cr>

And also I have set clipboard to unnamedplus:

" use X11 clipboard for yank and paste
set clipboard=unnamedplus


Anyway, I wonder if there is a better way to solve this problem without depending on xsel?
