It may well be that there is something I'm not understanding, but
this patch doesn't seem to have any effect. I thought the purpose
of the patch was to make certain line-wise copies paste line-wise.
For me, they still paste character-wise.
I applied the patch to Vim 7.3.154 and built Vim, then ran the
following tests. This was all done on a system running Fedora 11.
Test 1
* Start Firefox (3.5.3).
* Go to vim.sf.net.
* Triple-click the Vim 7.3 release announcement.
* Start vim in a GNOME Terminal:
$ ./vim -N -u NONE
* Put text in vim buffer:
:r !ls -l
* Move the cursor to the middle of a line in the middle of the
screen and type
"*p
* The result is the line copied from Firefox inserted
_in-line_ in that line of ls output.
* Executing "+p yields the same results.
Test 2
* Using that same Vim instance, select three lines of text by
typing
Vjj"+y
* Vim displays "3 lines yanked" in the status line.
* Exit Vim:
:q!
* Start vim as before and again read ls into the buffer.
* Move the cursor to the middle of a line in the middle of the
screen and type
"+p
* As before, the three lines are inserted _in-line_ at the
cursor position.
Here is the output of "./vim --version".
