Hello.

The main idea is described in message subject.
I'm using Vim 7.2 with win xp.
When I minimize Vim window to the task bar and then restore it - sometimes
it happents that modes switches between themselves.  --INSERT-- to
--REPLACE-- or vice versa.
Interesting that it happens absolutely randomly. Maybe yes maybe no. And I
never know which mode will be.

I did not find any information regarding this issue.
Thanks.

Toggling between Insert and Replace is the function of the <Insert> key. Are you sure you don't hit it, maybe unintentionally, just before minimizing Vim, or just after waking it up?

You can disable the <Insert> key by adding the following to your vimrc:

        :map    <Insert>  <Nop>
        :map!   <Insert>  <Nop>

or maybe you'll prefer to use :imap instead of :map! if you want to retain the ability to toggle between insert and overstrike on the Vim command-line.

To minimize Vim, you can use :sus[pend], :st[op] or even Ctrl-Z (the latter, which requires no <Enter>, should be far enough from the <Insert> key).

See
        :help <Insert>
        :help i_<Insert>
        :help c_<Insert>
        :help map.txt
        :help suspend


Best regards,
Tony.
