I cannot describe how to reproduce this behavior but usually |
| 28 |
it appears after the following steps: |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
1. I work with gvim and firefox. |
| 31 |
2. After finishing working with gvim, I turn to firefox, |
| 32 |
go to a news site and look through all its Twitter |
| 33 |
news band that is somehow embedded into its webpage. |
| 34 |
On this step I also open new tabs from the news band. |
| 35 |
3. I return to gvim and try to save and close it using |
| 36 |
:wq command but it does not work any more as : sends |
| 37 |
focus to the "Copy to clipboard" icon. |
