rarely using rectangular regions (and when, then for deletion), so I was
surprised by the following:
issuing something like
c^Aqjq
to select a rectangle with a width of one character and a height of 2 lines
and trying to replace the rectangle by a multicharacter string fails. only the first character of
the replacement string specified in response to the "Rectangular text:" query is inserted.
e.g. with an input of
1 2 3
1 2 3
and selecting the 2nd column as rectangle and trying to replace the 2s by "abc"
results in
1 a 3
1 a 3
I would have expected the text to the right of the rectangle to be shifted to
the right to make room
for the full replacement string?
questions:
* am I doing it wrong?
* if no, is this to be expected behaviour or a bug?
* if not a bug, is there a canonical way to achieve the desired edit result,
i.e.
1 abc 3
1 abc 3
in this example?
thank you
