Are you marking the text and using Copy and Paste from the menu generated by clicking the non-dominant mouse button, or, are you marking the text, and using <CTRL><C> to copy then <CTRL><V> to paste? What happens if you copy and paste to an editor such as gedit? Does that work consistently? If so, what happens if you copy and paste to gedit, and then, copy from gedit, and paste to the vim window? Does it make any difference whether you have the vim session open, and the file open, into which you want to paste, before you copy the text that you want to paste into it? Have you tried the text editor that is the default editor for alpine (previously known as pine) - I think it is either nano or pico? ....
