Hi,
I know there are other ways to copy, but I wanted to do it the standard way Vi does. also, I wanted to fix the problem for ever not for this time.
I did not copy from a registry. here is what I exactly did:
opened file1: vim file1
while in file1, opened file2: :e file2
scrolled down and yanked some lines: 20yy
switched back to file1: ctrl-6
paste the lines: p
the lines copied were not what I had yanked!
funny thing is that instead of file1, I repeated with another file, foo and it worked fine!! so, I don't think it has anything to do with my .vimrc file. this is probably a bug in vim.
thanks anyway,
Khosrow

There a many different ways to copy and paste. You can use the mouse,
copy from normal mode, copy from visual mode, copy from command line
mode. I also have no idea whether you copied into or pasted from a
register.
In order to be able to reproduce what happened and give some help, I
would need to know exactly what you did. A minimal set of steps to see
the same behavior is very helpful.
