I feel like I'm missing some context with regards to what's being discussed here. Perhaps if I better understood this context I could be of help testing that everything does indeed work as it should.
I'm not sure if the issue being discussed is this one or the related one involving the :helpgrep command. I'm not sure if the bug you folks are talking about occurs on Debian or Fedora or both. Also with regards to Christian's patch what version of Vim or what git revision of what branch must I build and/or acquire to test/confirm that all is well? I use Fedora and while it would be difficult for me to migrate to Debian if this is a Debian related issue perhaps I may be able to still run the tests from a Debian Live CD assuming they've gotten less buggy since last I've seen them. Let me know if/how I can be of help to you. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
