New issue 323 by [email protected]: setreg(..., ..., 'al') keeps
appending newlines
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=323
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select a charwise text into a register
2. Do :call setreg('"', '', 'al') to transform it into a linewise register
3. Paste, everything works (check with :reg ")
4. Do :call setreg('"', '', 'al') to transform it into a linewise register
again
5. Paste, now there's 2 newlines in the register (check with :reg ")
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect that if a register is already linewise, it wouldn't get any
extra newlines.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Vim 4.7.488 on OSX 10.10.1
Please provide any additional information below.
From the documentation I could not find out whether this was intentional or
not. I suspect not as in the original conversation when this feature was
added in 2002, Bram mentioned that it would be neat if it could be used to
save and restore registers.
