The bug, if there is one, is that
:set list lcs=nbsp:\x0D
(with a non-printable character) does not generate an error (I get "E474
Invalid argument", which IMO is no bug.)
Yes, error is the desired behavior. It is not generated in my case (you missed
that these quotes are $'...', not '...', so it is `:set list lcs=nbsp:^M',
equivalent to `set list|let&lcs="nbsp:\x0D"').
Ah, yes, sorry, I had overlooked these dollar signs. Now I can reproduce
the problem:
:set list lcs=nbsp:^M
(entering ^M at the keyboard as Ctrl-V Enter)
does not give an error (I guess that's the bug): then typing
:normal! i~~~a^[
where each ~ represents a non-breaking space, typed as Ctrl-V x A0
(without the spaces), and ^[ an escape (entered as Ctrl-V Esc), Vim displays
^M^M^Ma
The cursor is shown on the second ^M but ga displays
<a> 97, Hex 61, Octal 141
Redrawing (Ctrl-L) doesn't change the display, and moving the cursor
left and right (in Normal mode without virtual editing) is only possible
in the first four screen cells, where ^M^M is shown in blue. Even o (to
create a second line) followed by <Esc><Up> then left-right moves, moves
only over the first four screen cells, and one by one.
I tested on vim-7.3.269 from mercurial repository with huge features, gui and
perl, tcl, lua, ruby and python3 support.
yeah, me too, except python2, not python3. FWIW I'm on linux-x86_64
(openSUSE 11.4).
but even temporarily trying to set only
:set list=\x0D
You can't set boolean arguments this way, so I don't understand what is this
remark for.
I meant listchars
Best regards,
Tony.
