Package: vim-python
Version: 1:7.0-017+5
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/vim.python
If I am comparing two files with vimdiff and I add or delete a line
to/from one, vimdiff automatically updates the display and lets me
use the usual commands to push the change over to the other file.
However, if I simply edit part of an existing line without changing
linebreaks , vimdiff does not notice the change and I have to employ
a hack to be able to push the change: yank-paste the line, then
delete the original one.
It would be nice if this were fixed. Thanks,

This is not a bug (intended as: misbehaviour wrt a specification), but
the documented behaviour of vim's diff mode.
Quoting from :help :diffupdate
:diffu[pdate] Update the diff highlighting and folds.
Vim attempts to keep the differences updated when you make changes to the
text. This mostly takes care of inserted and deleted lines. Changes within a
line and more complicated changes do not cause the differences to be updated.
To force the differences to be updated use: >
:diffupdate
I'm thus closing this bug report with this mail, assuming you weren't
aware of :diffupdate.
If you intended this bug report as upstream whishlist item please reopen
it (tough it would be better to first discover the issues in
implementing the behaviour you want in vim's code ... and no, I don't
know them right now :-))
Cheers.
