I don't see the issue on my Android phone (also version 8.0) but this runs in a unix emulator called Termux. So I think the issue may only reside on the windows side. I do find in windows that it affects both the GVIM and VIM applications.

By default, this is blank but in my vimrc file, I set it to "unnamed". I need this setting because it allows me to copy something in VIM and it will be available in apps external to VIM (placed on windows clipboard). So when I run VIM without plugins, the yanking works, but right when I set that clipboard setting to unnamed, the yanking doesn't work anymore.

The clipboard setting is explicitly disabled for :g commands.
