I should have mentioned that I indifferently use 'I' or 'A' depending on the circumstances and that the result is the same. I have to force the padding of the lines with spaces up to the insertion point (col. 60 in the example) for it to work. Small issue but I think this is not consistent behaviour: whatever the doc says the user would expect block insert to insert something rather than be left wondering uh-oh... what did I do wrong THIS time... :) Not making an issue of it but perhaps virtualedit= should have an additional flag that says complete all lines with white space before performing the block insert?
