I'm using gvim 7.3.18 on Windows XP (the "Cream" build, without Cream).
The behavior specified just below :help <LeftRelease> has no effect in my normal Vim setup. With gvim -N -u NONE, it beeps but has no other effect. E.g. with gvim -N -u NONE, I enter the following text: aaaaaaaa bbbbbbbb cccccccc I start a visual selection that contains the first 4 'a' characters: gg0v3l I press v again to end the visual selection, and go to the next line to try to select the first 4 'b' characters: j01v The '1' is shown briefly at the bottom of the screen, and pressing 'v' makes it go away, and Vim beeps. Nothing else happens. I would expect Vim to instead select the first 4 'b' characters, as documented: If Visual mode is not active and the "v", "V" or CTRL-V is preceded with a count, the size of the previously highlighted area is used for a start. You can then move the end of the highlighted area and give an operator. The type of the old area is used (character, line or blockwise). - Linewise Visual mode: The number of lines is multiplied with the count. - Blockwise Visual mode: The number of lines and columns is multiplied with the count. - Normal Visual mode within one line: The number of characters is multiplied with the count. - Normal Visual mode with several lines: The number of lines is multiplied with the count, in the last line the same number of characters is used as in the last line in the previously highlighted area. -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
