Re: Register overwritten only when clipboard=unnamed

Hello Gary,

I

figured out what's happening thanks to your reply.

Actually what I tried to do was to disable guioption_a. 

The manual says when guioption_a is on, the visually selected block is automatically 

yanked to * register - thus to unnamed too - upon exiting visual mode.

That why the previously yanked word is overwritten before 

the explicit 

paste actually happens during the

<

viwp> command

.

It's like there is one hidden yank between <w> and <p>.

I think you want to retain the behavior of "autoselect" in
'clipboard', so rather than

    set clipboard=unnamed

try either

    set clipboard=unnamed,autoselect

or

    set clipboard^=unnamed

HTH,
