A while ago, I noticed that when I use "." to repeat an

,¬,¬). For instance, the following sequence of
keystrokes: "aa b c<ESC>." produces the following text: "a b
ca b c".
I checked that the characters are actually those (they are
saved to file), not just a visual representation of spaces.
I looked at the ". register, and the weird characters were
already there.
What version of Vim are you running? Any plugins you know may
affect the '.' command? Does it happen also when running Vim
without your plugins or mapping, e.g. "gvim -N -u NONE -i
NONE"? All buffers, or only buffers with a certain filetype?
Included in the "what version of Vim", it would be helpful not
only to have the version number ("7.2.123"), but how you're
running it and the platform: Win32 vs. Linux/Mac/BSD, gvim vs.
console vim.
Also, when you say that the final file has the weird characters,
is it *all* the spaces, or just the ones added with "."? It
might also be helpful to epeat your experiment of "aa b c<esc>."
then pipe your contents through xxd to see what gets written where:
:%! xxd
which should change your buffer contents to something like
0000000: 6120 6220 6361 ac62 ac63 0a a b ca.b.c.
or
0000000: 61ac 62ac 6361 ac62 ac63 0a a.b.ca.b.c.
I agree with Ben that this is highly non-standard behavior.
