Hi,
In my macro I observe strange behavior if try to paste manually
created block of lines, if it contains unicode chars. Pasting
rectangular region leads to some lines strangely "elongated" in
the result. If we paste pure ASCII content of same shape no
problem happens. Following vimscript demonstrates this problem
[1].
Another case which looks as well strange is "gv" command confused
with the range, if it contains some unicode chars. Firstly we
block select such a region, replace it content with blanks, and
finally try to visually select it again with "gv" - right border
of the new selection differs from original one. If now we do
replacement of the content again, we observe replacement is made
within different, slightly larger area. If the region in question
had in the beginning pure ASCII content no such problem happens.
Following vimscript demonstrates this problem [2].
Tested with "vim --clean" on cygwin 8.2.486, and one quite
outdated linux version 8.1.1741.
Are those things known already or do they have some good explanation
perhaps?
Many thanks for making vim, and vim makes my day since many years
already :), with best regards, Anton
