Re: viminfo do not save registers, but clipboard still set at startup ?

Hi,
Tony, thanks always for your info.

My point is the X11 selection and clipboard are empty and my viminfo does not contain any register info, yet after starting vim the + and * regsiters contain info.
This seems a bit odd to me since:
1). I did not save register info and I've confirmed my viminfo does not have any register info in it.
2). the X11 selection and clipboard were empty before starting vim and I've comfirmed that via xsel/xclip/etc.
It just seems a mystery to me how these two registers get filled.
I'll keep looking, even if just for my own curiosity :-)
If you clear out your X11 selection and primary and then start vim without a viminfo, are your * and + set with some info ?
It must be some other history/undo or something I am missing.
take care,
-m
