I seem to have missed "linebreak" mode when it was introduced,
probably because I seldom use linewrap. But my wife does and was
asking about it today, so I was playing with linewrap, found
linebreak, and... discovered that it's broken. At least, if I'm
using it right, it is.
I start vile without init files. Then:
set lw
set lb
When I type a long line, and reach the right screen edge, the line
gets broken correctly, but as I keep typing, the new characters don't
go at the end of the word that was just moved to the next line. The
cursor never moves to the right place. (Until I type a space: that
it gets right, but then jumps back to the middle of the word for the
next characters.)
I can't easily bisect releases to see where this broke, since in
general I just install what apt offers me, and don't have old releases
lying around.
