Sung Pae,
Thanks for the new patch. I reverted your previous patch and
applied this one.
Test 1a
* Start vim as "vim -N -u NONE". (I replaced the previous
version of vim in my PATH with this patched version.)
* Read some text into vim with ":r !ls -l".
* Triple-click on the Vim 7.3 release notice from vim.sf.net
("[2010-08-15] Finally, ... Moolenaar)")
* Paste into the middle of a line in the middle of the vim
screen with
"*p
* The text is pasted character-wise, that is, is inserted in
the middle of the line with no newlines.
This is the same behavior as before, but may be because Firefox
may not put a newline in the copied text.
Test 1b
* Set up vim as before.
* On the vim.sf.net page, select the text from "Vim charity
update" through the end of the Vim 7.3 release notice by
left-clicking and dragging the mouse over it.
* Paste into the middle of a line in the middle of the vim
screen with
"*p
* This time the text is pasted line-wise below the cursor.
I didn't test this case with the previous patch. An unpatched
vim pastes this character-wise.
Test 2
* Set up vim as before.
* Move the cursor to the middle of some line below the top of
the screen and copy three lines with
Vjj"+y
* Exit vim, then restart and set up as before.
* Move the cursor to the middle of a line in the middle of the
screen and paste with
"+p
* The text is pasted line-wise below the cursor. (It was
pasted character-wise with the previous patch.)
This one is weird. From this experiment, the patch appears to
work correctly. The first time I tried it, though, it pasted
character-wise. I've been repeating this one a number of times
and sometimes it pastes line-wise and sometimes it pastes
character-wise. I've been copying lines randomly and pasting
them in random positions, but I _think_ I've done all the other
steps the same way. I haven't found a pattern yet.
I replied to your message of May 2, but I never received a copy from
the list. I haven't checked the web interface to see if it wasn't
received by the list or whether I just didn't receive my copy.
Regards,
Gary
