Reporting bugs -------------- Send them to <vim-...@vim.org>. Please describe the problem precisely. All the time spent on answering mail is subtracted from the time that is spent on improving Vim! Always give a reproducible example and try to find out which settings or other things influence the appearance of the bug. Try starting without your own vimrc file: "vim -u NONE". Try different machines if possible. See ":help bugs" in Vim. Alternatively, create an issue at github and/or a pull request. Please try to write a test that reproduces the problem and will pass once it is fixed. See https://github.com/vim/vim Happy Vimming! -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 187.
