I can reproduce it using gvim (GUI GTK2 on Linux) and only when
gvim is started remotely though "ssh -Y" (X11 forwarding). When I
press the "Why?" button, sometimes I see "Because I'm asking"
and sometimes see an empty string (maybe ~50% of the time).
I could reproduce it on 2 different machines using vim-7.2.93.
If I try to run gvim with valgrind, then bug no longer happens.
If I try to run gvim locally (i.e. without ssh -Y), then bug does
not happen either.
Bug does not happen with vim in terminal either.
These symptoms suggest that it might be a timing issue
(race condition) in the GTK2 GUI since:
- running with "ssh -Y" or with valgrind definitely affects speed
- the empty string happens at random time (~ 50% of the time)
