There are two problems in block insert mode (<C-V> + I). 1. When CTRL-C is used in block insert mode, text is inserted to first line only even if multi-line was selected.
For example, when there are three lines and type "1G<C-V>jjIxxx<C-C>" 1: aaa 1: xxxaaa 2: bbb -> 2: bbb 3: ccc 3: ccc Please see op_insert() function in ops.c. After invoking edit(), got_int is TRUE when CTRL-C was used. Then u_save() returns FAIL and block_insert() is not invoked. Thus text is not inserted to other line. op_insert() in ops.c: 2466 /* block handled here */ 2467 if (u_save(oap->start.lnum, 2468 (linenr_T)(oap->end.lnum + 1)) == OK) 2469 block_insert(oap, ins_text, (oap->op_type == OP_INSERT), 2470 &bd); u_savecommon() in undo.c: 504 fast_breakcheck(); 505 if (got_int) 506 { 507 u_freeentry(uep, i); 508 return FAIL; 509 } 2. When CTRL-C is used in block insert mode, extra undo is added. This happens when using GUI. For example, type "<C-V>Ixxx<C-C>" and do undo: insert undo undo 1: -> 1: xxx -> 1: xxx -> 1: In CUI: insert undo 1: -> 1: xxx -> 1: This is stacktrace explaining how extra undo is added. #0 u_sync (force=0) at undo.c:1261 #1 0x080c5c02 in may_sync_undo () at getchar.c:1241 #2 0x080c5bb9 in gotchars (s=0x81fa761 "Ixxx\003", len=-1) at getchar.c:1216 #3 0x080c6981 in vgetorpeek (advance=0) at getchar.c:1966 #4 0x080c673f in vpeekc () at getchar.c:1747 #5 0x080c67b5 in char_avail () at getchar.c:1797 #6 0x081030af in update_mouseshape (shape_idx=-1) at misc2.c:3410 #7 0x081920dc in setmouse () at term.c:3322 #8 0x0806c7a4 in ins_esc (count=0xbfbfe308, cmdchar=0, nomove=0) at edit.c:7781 #9 0x080629e8 in edit (cmdchar=0, startln=0, count=-1) at edit.c:921 #10 0x0811f66e in op_insert (oap=0xbfbfe530, count1=1) at ops.c:2425 #11 0x081108ca in do_pending_operator (cap=0xbfbfe4c0, old_col=0, gui_yank=0) at normal.c:1985 #12 0x0810f37d in normal_cmd (oap=0xbfbfe530, toplevel=1) at normal.c:1163 #13 0x080d6cf9 in main_loop (cmdwin=0, noexmode=0) at main.c:1154 #14 0x080d685b in main (argc=3, argv=0xbfbfe6fc) at main.c:934 -- Yukihiro Nakadaira - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
