Hi,

It looks like this happens on debian because of the
following lines in /usr/share/vim/vimrc:

" Make p in Visual mode replace the selected text with the
"" register.
vnoremap p <Esc>:let current_reg =
@"<CR>gvdi<C-R>=current_reg<CR><Esc>

If you remove this line, then things work fine... You can put a

vunmap p

in your ~/.vim/ftplugin/tex.vim file.
