Can you share the content of the command line that you're trying
to execute? I use this all the time.
You might also check your build of Vim? There was a bug in some
6.x versions that has since been fixed where, if you had a
literal control character in your command line, such as ^M
(control+M) in this example:
:%s/foo,/&^M/g
it would treat the "^M" as the command termination, instead of
the actual line, so running @: would only execute
:%s/foo,/&
and then error out or ignore the weirdness of "/g".
You may also check your version information to ensure you have a
build compiled with "+cmdline_hist".
