Yank to CLIPBOARD in visual mode (Windows)

Issue type:

• Bug report

Version:

Vimperator: 3.15.0 (created: 2016/10/05 01:11:26) Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0

Description:

In visual mode with a cursor selection active,

• y emits a statement that the selection has been copied to the clipboard. In fact, however, the clipboard is cleared.
• Y emits no statement, but also clears the clipboard.
• ^C emits no statement, and I find I can paste the selected text elsewhere in and outside of FF.

Expected behavior:

When I select a statement in "cursor visual" mode and hit y or Y, I expect the selected text to be available for pasting elsewhere, both in and outside FF, as presently occurs for ^C. I suspect this issue relates to #185. The reason I'm creating this different ticket is because of differences in clipboarding in the 2 environments.

Note: Per liberator://help/buffer#copying, I would expect:

1. Y to copy currently selected text to the system clipboard.
2. y to copy the URL of the current page. I think that would be considered the current location, but am not certain on this. In any case, my justification to expect y to copy the buffer's selected text is the statement it emits when you do it! (It also seems like the RTTD, tho it doesn't seem to be documented.)

Making a statement consistently upon any yank action would be a plus.

Steps to reproduce:

I'm pretty sure I've seen this [mis-]behavior consistently on all Windows platforms I use. If I notice otherwise, I'll correct my comments here.
