New issue 14 by [email protected]: Console prompts fail to reset the console
pager
http://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=14
Example reproduction steps:
1. Open several files in one copy of vim; for example: vim *.c
2. While the first copy is running, open the same files in another copy of
vim; in another terminal window, for example.
3. Hit "o" at each swap file prompt, and the spacebar at each "-- More --"
prompt.
The "-- More --" prompt currently shows up far too often, about every three
files on a large screen. I expect the swap file prompt to count as having
allowed me to see the lines on the screen.
This occurs on every copy of vim I've tried; in particular, it happens in
Ubuntu 10.10's pre-packaged 7.2 (2:7.2.330-1ubuntu4), both gui and console,
and in hand-built console versions from the Mercurial repository: vim72
branch (v7-2-446) and default branch (v7-3-230).
The attached patch attempts to fix the issue for all console prompts, by
resetting lines_left in msg_end_prompt(). This has been verified to fix
the swap file prompt for both Mercurial heads, but has not been tested for
other types of console prompts, nor for gui prompts.
