    I am configuring a new system based on OmniOS r151020.  While running
    as root and attempting to cut-and-paste text into 'vi' using a Gnome
    terminal open on (via ssh) both a prior OmniOS r151020 system and the
    new one, I always get the error:

    "E353: Nothing in register ""

    and the paste fails.  This is incredibly annoying.

    I notice that vim on the new system displays colorized text (it does
    not on the "old" r151020 system, which has been upgraded several
    times) and automatically inserts some additional text when I hit enter
    such as on a comment line.  This is also behavior unsuitable for new
    system bring-up.

    Is there an easy way to bring back sane behavior?

    I do recall discussion on the mailing list of changing vim defaults
    but the implications were not clear.

    Thanks,

    Bob
