Okay, so OO does smart pasting where it also treats formatting I
guess. So this is most likely a bug.

Yes, it is a problem with OO. It is trying to be too smart with the
paste-buffer. Somehow it is not treating the selection as pure text as
it ought to.
Out of curiosity, does this happen for any text file in gvim or only
those with certain file extensions? I assume it is also a problem when
you just open up vim with an empty buffer and type some random junk
and try to copy and paste that?
No, I don't use OO at all, and much as I'd like to help, I'm not about
to try to install *that* on my underpowered netbook. Actually, I don't
even use gvim: vim in a terminal is good enough for me.
Hum, just a thought! Do you have vim compiled with the vim-with-x USE
flag? Try toggling it. Part of the flag is supposed to help behaviour
with interaction against X clipboard.
I am pretty out of ideas otherwise, good luck on your quest, and sorry
for not being more helpful.
Cheers,
