I observe strange behaviour related to 'set shortmess+=T' . Sometimes this 'T' flag shortens long messages, sometimes it does not. To see: 1. vim -u NONE 2. :set nocp shortmess=aT :nmap ZB :echomsg repeat('a',&co+10)<cr> 3. Press ZB. You get long message and 'Press Enter' prompt. 4. Type :norm ZB<cr> You get shortened message, and no ''Press Enter' prompt. 5. Type :echomsg repeat('a',&co+10)<cr> This behaves like (3), not like (4).
I don't understand why (3),(4), and (5) behave differently. I think (4) is correct and (3) and (5) are bugs ? Yakov
