Why does gVim “takes over” my clipboard when using GNOME Terminal?












0















In a VM window on my Win10 machine, running RedHat Enterprise 6.6 / GNOME 2.28.2, I have a GNOME Terminal and gVim windows open.



When selecting text in the Terminal with the mouse, and then using "Copy" from one of the menus, or using the regular key combinations, then when pasting, I get the text that was captured in the gVim window instead of the text copied in the Terminal.



How to fix this?



Note: I tried the methods mentioned in the related questions I found.
