Output of paste into Vim truncated

Question

I am having issues with pasting text from the clipboard into Vim (v7.4) on an HPC cluster using Centos, which I have logged into using MTPuTTY. I still get the same error when I'm logging in via MobaXterm.

This is the result of pasting into e.g. sublime text:

Which is what's correctly on the clipboard.

However, when I try paste into Vim, using shift+insert, the output is truncated and contains some previous information that I had on the clipboard (i.e. the -Ou | \ part:

I have made sure I'm in insert mode. The issue seems to sporadically appear after using Vim for a while and the only thing that solves it is logging out of the HPC and logging back in again. I have absolutely no idea what's causing this.

I only have :color desert in my ~/.vimrc.

You may try this:

function! PasteFormat(x)
    let l=@+
    let l=len(split(l,"\n"))-1
    return a:x."V".string(l).'j='
endfunction

nnoremap <expr> ]p @+ =~ ".*\n$" ?  PasteFormat("p") : ((@+ =~ ".*\n.*$") ? PasteFormat("o<ESC>p"): "o<C-R>+<ESC>")
nnoremap <expr> ]P @+ =~ ".*\n$" ?  PasteFormat("P") : ((@+ =~ ".*\n.*$") ? PasteFormat("O<ESC>p"): "O<C-R>+<ESC>")

You may also might want to filter out more special chars that cause the cursor to move.

I haven't tested it (you may write this as text).

Answer 2

Have you tried the command

:set paste

before pasting in insert mode?
