Strange problem when pasting text into vile

[Chris Green]

I have a peculiar problem when pasting text into vile.

When I paste text vile seems to see a collection of rather random
commands rather than just the pasted text.  I've checked thoroughly
that the past doesn't contain any extra control characters or anything
like that, everywhere else I paste the same text I get just the pasted
characters and nothing else.

The same text pastes into xvile with no problems.

This is 'middle button' paste on xubuntu Linux.


For example when I select the word 'pasting' in this E-Mail and paste
it into an empty buffer of another instance of file I get 'MSTINGEPI'
at the top of the empty buffer.

Even more wierdly pasting the same text into this instance of vile
(being used to compose this E-Mail works perfectly).

So maybe this is something to do with the terminal window that vile is
running in.  But pasting the same text in the terminal outside of vile
shows no oddities.

Any ideas what might be causing this?  It's been happening for quite a
while now but I've only just got fed up enough with it to do
something! :-)
