Problem

While editing inside gVIM, whenever I press Shift+Insert, it's insert the <S-Insert> text. I'm running on Ubuntu Maverick and compile Vim from source. This is really annoying. What's wrong with my VIM?

Fix for: GVim: Shift + Insert dump <S-Insert> instead of the clipboard text

Low Risk

I've found out that Shift+ Insert does not work in gVim if is active. Instead of inserting the clipboard contents, it will insert the text " ". Normal (console) vim does not suffer from this problem, probably because shift-insert is a terminal thing…
