I see the same thing. I notice that
:echo line("'<") col("'<") line("'>") col("'>")
shows
1 1 2 2
and that a 2x2 block (including one space beyond the end of each line)
is highlighted after CTRL-V ap . If I start on the "a" and try
CTRL-V jl then the highlighted area is an L shape, including only the
"a" on the first line. I get the same response
:echo line("'<") col("'<") line("'>") col("'>")
1 1 2 2
with either selection.
Does anyone want to try to fix this before Bram gets back from
vacation?
