Hi,<br> I know there are other ways to copy, but I wanted to do it the standard way Vi does. also, I wanted to fix the problem for ever not for this time.<br> I did not copy from a registry. here is what I exactly did:<br> <br> opened file1: vim file1<br> while in file1, opened file2: :e file2<br> scrolled down and yanked some lines: 20yy<br> switched back to file1: ctrl-6<br> paste the lines: p<br> <br> the lines copied were not what I had yanked!<br> funny thing is that instead of file1, I repeated with another file, foo and it worked fine!! so, I don't think it has anything to do with my .vimrc file. this is probably a bug in vim.<br> <br> thanks anyway,<br> Khosrow<br><br><b><i>James Vega <jamessan@debian.org></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> On Fri, Jul 28, 2006 at 10:52:14AM -0700, Khosrow Hassani wrote:<br>> James Vega <jamessan @debian.org=""> wrote:
