(Except for myself, of course. :) > My first guess that something is wrong with xfce4 here. I cannot describe how to reproduce this behavior but usually it appears after the following steps: 1. I work with gvim and firefox. 2. After finishing working with gvim, I turn to firefox, go to a news site and look through all its Twitter news band that is somehow embedded into its webpage. On this step I also open new tabs from the news band. 3. I return to gvim and try to save and close it using :wq command but it does not work any more as : sends focus to the "Copy to clipboard" icon.
