 | Hi,
I'm using Vim 6.3 and for some reason, I am unable to paste properly.
For example, if I select a line and Y it, then go to a different
buffer, when I paste, something else is pasted (always the same thing,
but I don't know where it comes from; maybe something I yanked a long
time ago). If I Y & P in the same file, it works as expected. If I
split the file in two and switch buffers before pasting, it doesn't
paste the correct information.
I'm using 6.3 on Windows XP.
Has anyone else seen this kind of behaviour?

do you have a reproducible example?

that's not enough - sorry. please give *all* commands.
do you have a standard setup? maybe you have some
additional autocommands triggered by entering buffers?

| Yes, I have a reproducible example, but only on my machine. Whenever I
yank something (anything, using highlighting or blocking or just doing
it from the current line) and I change buffers, then press "P", the
following is inserted:
All the time. Every time. However, if I do "+Y then "+P, whatever I
yanked is pasted correctly.
Here is an example:
sYP
If I am on a line that says:
Yank this
When I press P I get
......
Ding! I went to check my _viminfo line and for "0, it said .
For some reason, that file was not updated. I deleted it and we'll see
what happens.
Thanks,

well.. you should start vim without
any setup files (eg "vim -u NONE").
if the effect does not take place
then it is somewhere in your setup.
wild guess: there's some autocommand getting
in your way which resets the default register.
also check the P command with
:map P
maybe it is mapped?!
