I was trying to paste a filename into CtrlP file search using Command-V that had the title "create_transaction.json". Instead what I got was "ate_transaction.json". Curious, I tried pasting variations of "create" and found the sequence "cre" would not paste into CtrlP's input line
I tested this on two different macs using the latest version of ctrlp and I got the same problem. My config:
let g:ctrlp_show_hidden=1
let g:ctrlp_use_caching = 1
let g:ctrlp_lazy_update = 1
let g:ctrlp_clear_cache_on_exit=0
let g:ctrlp_max_depth = 40
let g:ctrlp_max_height = 45
let g:ctrlp_regexp = 1
let g:ctrlp_extensions = ['tag', 'sw_profiles']
let g:ctrlp_mruf_exclude = 'COMMIT_EDITMSG'
