Plugin disrupts normal X clipboard usage #70

I haven't narrowed it down to a small problem file, but "+yy (and any other operation that interacts with the X CLIPBOARD) and Bisectly blaims this plugin for messing with the clipboard.

The behavior I'm seeing is that if I try to paste from the X CLIPBOARD into some other GUI application, the contents of the "+ register is only available the first time. On subsequent pastes, it is empty. Disabling this plugin fixes the issue.

Okay, looks like this happens on most files. I can reproduce the issue in a file called test.sh, with the only content being X=6.

Not sure if this was ever valid. I later saw the same issue with vim-gitgutter, and had better luck reproducing it, so maybe I misdiagnosed the source of the issue initially.
