- Sounds like a problem I solved some time ago for "gv"... Yes, it's the same
- problem. Since the Visually selected text is exactly the same, the selection
- isn't owned again. Hmm, this also happens when just typing "v" (selecting
- only a single character). I'll fix it in the same way as for "gv".

-
- Patch 5.4.23
- Problem: When a Visual selection is lost to another program, and then the
- same text is Visually selected again, the clipboard ownership
- wasn't regained.
- Solution: Set clipboard.vmode to NUL to force regaining the clipboard.
