Bug#419171: vim: adds extra spaces to text pasted from the clipboard

[Michael Gilbert]

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-219+1
Severity: normal

when text is pasted into vim from the X clipboard, extra spaces will 
show up due to the autoindenting feature.  for example, if the following
text is copied to the clipboard:

1
2
 3
 4
 5
6
7
8
 9

i get the following text when pasting into vim:

1
2
 3
  4
   5
   6
   7
   8
    9

i can use ":set noai" to prevent autoindenting and pasting works
correctly, but is there anyway that vim could automatically not do
autoindenting when text is pasted but do autoindenting normally?
thanks.
