Repro steps:
1. visual block select some text (<CTRL-V>)
2. press "r" to replace text
3. wait 'updatetime'
Actual:
Observe visual mode ending, and selected text being replaced with multiple
instances of ^C
Expected:
Enter some sort of "visual replace" mode.
Not getting this behavior on Vim7 (p1-122 as Debian is currently
providing me).
Have you tried it starting vim with
vim -u NONE
to make sure there's not some funky plugin causing the problem?
I also tried it with an existing file, made some changes to it
(in the hopes that updatetime triggered some funky behavior when
autosaving the scratch file), highlighted the block, and left it
running for >'updatetime'. No such symptoms. Thus, it's either
a Win32 thing, or some plugin/vimrc thing you have going on.
Using the "-u NONE" should eliminate the latter.
