Confirming. I have the same issue.
The same nvim version on mac, Catalina 10.15.5

It works on me on Fedora 32 and the latest Nvim. Could this have to do with Wayland vs X? I am using Wayland and wl-copy/wl-paste.

It does not apply to any graphical system, this issue works on native console mod. And gif from eduardo shows that apparently he is using windows 10.

Oh I'm so sorry, it may be important to note that this issue happened to me in ubuntu inside WSL2 in windows.
(WSL clipboard doesn't have any interaction with windows that I know of)

@ovitente It has to do with the graphical system because unnamedplus interacts with the system clipboard.

In any case, I tested again using X.org and xclip and it also worked. Maybe it is a Linux vs non-Linux thing then?

Do you have any commands I can run to find out what’s The clipboard being used here?

[hugomg]

I don't know if this is the best way but I think you can use

:echo provider#clipboard#Executable()

You can also find some documentation about clipboard providers on :help provider-clipboard.

nvim -u NONE
:echo provider#clipboard#Executable()

Returns:
win32yank (why? if I started with -u NONE and this is an extra configuration)
