Since email is (nowadays) what I write the most, last times I've noticed the problem has been using email, but the last time has been while writing an email, with no quotes whatsoever. > It might help to include your settings from > > set formatexpr? formatprg? textwidth? formatoptions? formatexpr= formatprg= textwidth=72 (although most of the time I use 78) formatoptions=tcql Those are, of course, for the filetype I'm using right now, mail, which has shown the problem. > And if you notice it happen again, undo your "gqap"s, yank the > original paragraph, intermediate paragraph, and final results into an > email with the output of the above settings.

I was in a hurry so I didn't save the offending paragraph. I've tried to write tailored paragraphs this morning to stress the gqap, but without any success. Dammit, I've noticed right now that I'm using gqip, not gqap, don't know if that may affect things or not, but I'll post that in another reply, just in case. Thanks for your reply, I'll keep investigating. -- Raúl "DervishD" Núñez de Arenas Coronado Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to...
