I installed cygwin's gvim on Windows 7. I found that pasting from the
Windows clipboard into gvim doesn't work by clicking the middle mouse
button unless I go through a weird ritual that I discovered by
accident. If I don't do this, I get "E353: Nothing in register *".
First, I have to highlight some text using gvim.
Second, I copy from Windows. Finally I paste into gvim using the
middle mouse button (Shift-Insert never works).
I am working in a locked down environment where arranging to run
setup/install executables take months to arrange, and opening firewall
ports might never happen. At first, I thought the problem might be
related to an X11 error message about ports being blocked, but then I
discovered the above recipe.
Given the above clue, can anyone suggest what the cause might be, and
possible ways to make the ritual unnecessary? Here is the diagnostic
data that I am able to find.
