The following is the result of doing
i1.1<CR><ESC>.
1.1
1¬1
that is inserting 1.1 and a newline, and then repeating. For some
strange reason the . isn't repeated as it should be.
I'm running the text version of vim in a gnome terminal on fedora core
6 using utf-8.
I don't get the behavior you describe on any of the platforms I
tried it. My first thought is that some plugin or terminal
setting is messing you up.
Does it happen when you start vim with
vim -u NONE
(which would bypass your startup files)? If so, you either have
a wonky build or gnome terminal is doing something abnormal.
However, if the same behavior doesn't occur when you skip your
startup files, you have some sort of funky mapping/plugin that's
hosing you expectations.
I suspect it's the latter.
You can use
:scriptnames
:map
to determine which scripts have been loaded, and which mappings
have been created. Armed with the above information, tracking
down the problem should be much easier.
