Say I've got a URL in the clipboard, I enter vim, I hit <C-Q> and highlight a word. Then I hit I<C-R>+ to insert the clipboard at the start of the selection.

What actually happens is the word that I had highlighted gets inserted, instead of the URL I was expecting.

I've got clipboard=, selectmode=key, virtualedit=block. I can't find any other setting I might have enabled to do this. I've confirmed that :reg + shows the URL and then changes after I highlight the word.

Removing a from the list of guioptions was the answer. Change it from set guioptions=ac to only set guioptions=c.
