I'm using vterm a lot, and really like entering vterm-copy-mode. However, sometimes (I haven't figured out under what circumstances) the following sequence of commands leads to weird behavior:

• I enter copy mode

• select a word in the middle of a line using the normal emacs commands

• yank that word

• exit copy mode

• paste that word

For instance, I use ps to enumerate processes, select a process ID using copy mode, then try to kill $my-selected-id.

What happens is the whole line is pasted instead of the single word.

Anyone experienced this and has a way to fix this?
