Something to do with sharing copy/paste buffers?
I have the same sort of problem pasting between linux and Windows VirtualBox. It's a case of finding the right place to fix the settings :-(
I've also run into this problem with the clipboard. Vim provided by Factory is compiled without +clipboard support. You can check this with: vim --version | grep clipboard # Should see +clipboard and/or +xterm_clipboard if supported To get a version with clipboard support you can install gvim. Note: This does come with a lot of extra features you may not use/want. With clipboard support you can now set vim to use the system clipboard: # ~/.vimrc set clipboard=unnamedplus More info on the Vim clipboard and registers can be found here http://v im.wikia.com/wiki/Accessing_the_system_clipboard.
