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.
