Screen flashes and looses visual selection when switching tab #32

For testing, set highlightedyank_highlight_duration to a high value, for example:

let g:highlightedyank_highlight_duration = 10000

Then:

Open two tabs with some text
Select and yank some text in the first tab
Switch to the second tab and select some text
Wait until the highlight duration ends
Observe that the screen flashes and the selection in the second tab is lost

Tested with the latest master version of vim-highlightedyank and neovim v0.2.2.

Thank you for your report. That's because vim-highlightedyank moved the cursor to another tab to delete highlights, probably. I think it is not so reasonable to keep the highlight in another tab, so I will change it as the highlight will be cleared immediately when a user switches tab windows.

I pushed a fix for this problem. Please update vim-highlightedyank and test it.

Can confirm this is fixed. Cheers!
