In certain situations Emacs doesn't properly paste text. Apparently this only happens if the current buffer isn't saved and both web-mode and evil-mode are loaded. I was able to reproduce this behavior with the following config:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
(require 'evil)
(evil-mode 1)
(require 'web-mode)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.js\\'" . web-mode))
Reproduction:
Edit the following file:
function test() {
console.log('hello world');
}
Then press the following series of keys:
yGPwywp (Copy the function in front of the cursor, go to the function name, copy it behind the cursor)
Result:
function test() {
tes
console.log('hello world');
}
function test() {
console.log('hello world');
}
Apparently the text has been truncated and is being pasted to the next line. If I remove web-mode (the last two lines) from my config, then everything works as expected:
function ttestest() {
console.log('hello world');
}
function test() {
console.log('hello world');
}
Here is the output of web-mode-debug:
