Dear vim mailing list, I have found a bug in vim's recovery. To reproduce: create a file "test" with 40000 lines, with each line containing 78 minuses, a la
78a-<ESC> yy 39999p :wq Copy that file to test_save Edit test again, add one line, do not do :w, but rather kill vim (kill <PID>). Do "vim test" again, press r for recovery, do :wq The result is that the recovered file test does contain the newly added line (good), but it misses 292 of the original lines (bad!) I.e. wc test_save test 40000 40000 3160000 test_save 39707 39709 3136791 test The above test has been done with vim 7.3 compiled on a 32 bit LINUX machine and with vim 6.3.82 (from Kubuntu 10.10) on a 64 bit LINUX machine.
