Hi Folks,
I have observed misbehaviour in the "vim" supplied with S.u.S.E. Linux.
This was already present in the version that came with S.u.S.E.-5.0, and I
hoped it would be cured in 5.1 after upgrade, but apparently it isn't.
=====================================================================
1. BUG
You have a line with several instances of "A" and you want to replace all of
them with "B". So, with the cursor at the start of the line, you do
:s/A/B/g
This has the effect of replcing only the first "A" with "B".
Then you do the same again, and this time all the remaining replacements
happen.
2. BUGLET
When you want to make a "visual" block (with "V", "v" or "^V"), the character
under the cursor appears blanked out at any rate if you revisit it when moving
the cursor around with the arrow keys.
It may also take two presses of "v" to exit from "visual".
This doesn't appear to affect anything important, however.
=====================================================================
I apparently have vim version 4.0 and, from the time-stamp on /usr/bin/vim, it
was the one installed from S.u.S.E.-5.0, with no upgrade when 5.1 was installed.
Best wishes,
Ted.
