vim.gnome "d$" doesn't delete

[Yavor Nikolov]

I have a problem with gvim (linked to vim.gnome) in Ubuntu 14.04. I managed to reproduce it with following 1-line file (test.txt):
asdf asdf

1) gvim test.txt
2) I go to the second (it doesn't really 2-nd or other) character (s) and I press keys:
d$

* The observed behaviour is:
My cursor is moved to the end of file (not deleting anything)

* What is expected is:
The text from current position to the end of line to be deleted.

---
* The problem didn't exist until recently (I recently upgraded from 13.10 to 14.04 so I suspect 14.04 may have introduced this regression)
* Same operation works fine with plain vim and vim.gtk.
* I have moved away my ~/.vimrc file (to make sure that none of my customizations is interfering)
* I tried wit "gvim -U NONE -u NONE": the problem still persists
* I managed to reproduce the problem with both 32-bit and 64-bit Ubuntu setups

I compiled vim-gnome from utopic (http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/vim-gnome): 2:7.4.273-1ubuntu1 - the problem is reproduced with it too.

I also tried on Debian testing & unstable vim-gnome 7.4.253 and 7.4.273: it works OK there.

Another observation: the problem is not reproduced each time. Yesterday it was reproducible pretty consistently. Today I did logout/login - and at the moment it's still not reproducing.

I haven't faced the problem since a while (perhaps it has gone after applying some updates).
