This problem, or something quite like it, has recently been reported and fixed. The above is Vim 8.1.676. The latest source as of this writing is 8.1.822; IOW there has already been 146 patches since the version you used. Please try again with a newer Vim. For a one-line description of every 8.1 patch so far, see http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/8.1/ Best regards, Tony. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post!
