jumps back to the top. (Ron Aaron)
Solution: Change setting the topline. (Nobuhiro Takasaki)
Problem: Making 'ttymouse' empty after the xterm version was requested
causes problems. (Elijah Griffin)

requested. Also don't request the xterm version when DEC mouse
was enabled.
Problem: When using double-width characters the text displayed on the
command line is sometimes truncated.
Solution: Reset the string lenght. (Nobuhiro Takasaki)
Problem: Searching for "a" does not match accented "a" with new regexp
engine, does match with old engine. (David Bürgin)
"ca" does not match "ca" with accented "a" with either engine.
Solution: Change the old engine, check for following composing character
also for single-byte patterns.
Problem: A non-greedy match followed by a branch is too greedy. (Ingo
Karkat)
Solution: Add NFA_MATCH when it is already in the state list if the position
differs.
Problem: Pattern with repeated backreference does not match with new regexp
engine. (Urtica Dioica)
Solution: Also check the end of a submatch when deciding to put a state in
the state list.

":" breaks many commands. (Jens-Wolfhard Schicke-Uffmann)
Solution: Disallow setting 'langmap' from the modeline.
Problem: When a session file has more than one tabpage and 'showtabline' is
one the positions may be slightly off.

matches. (Greg Novack)
Solution: Add an optional argument like with glob(). (Adnan Zafar)
Problem: Using ":sign unplace *" may leave the cursor in the wrong position
(Christian Brabandt)
Solution: Update the cursor position when removing all signs.
Problem: When doing ":update" just before running an external command that
changes the file, the timestamp may be unchanged and the file
is not reloaded.
Solution: Also check the file size.
Problem: "make autoconf" and "make reconfig" may first run configure and
then remove the output.
Solution: Add these targets to the exceptions. (Ken Takata)
Problem: CTRL-U in Insert mode does not work after using a cursor key.
(Pine Wu)
Solution: Use the original insert start position. (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Can't define a function starting with "g:". Can't assign a
funcref to a buffer-local variable.
Solution: Skip "g:" at the start of a function name. Don't check for colons
when assigning to a variable.
Problem: When updating the window involves a regexp pattern, an interactive
substitute to replace a "\n" with a line break fails. (Ingo
Karkat)
Solution: Set reg_line_lbr in vim_regsub() and vim_regsub_multi().
Problem: It is possible to define a function with a colon in the name. It
is possible to define a function with a lower case character if a
"#" appears after the name.

NL characters separate.
Solution: Optionally use a list for the system() input. (ZyX)
Problem: getreg() does not distinguish between a NL used for a line break
and a NL used for a NUL character.
Solution: Add another argument to return a list. (ZyX)
Problem: The string returned by submatch() does not distinguish between a
NL from a line break and a NL that stands for a NUL character.
Solution: Add a second argument to return a list. (ZyX)
Problem: Escaping special characters for using "%" with a shell command is
inconsistant, parenthesis are escaped but spaces are not.
Solution: Only escape "!". (Gary Johnson)
Problem: An error in ":options" is not caught by the tests.
Solution: Add a test for ":options". Set $VIMRUNTIME for the tests so that
it uses the current runtime files instead of the installed ones.
Problem: Using ":let" for listing variables and the second one is a curly
braces expression may fail.
Solution: Check for an "=" in a better way. (ZyX)

configure pointlessly.
Solution: Do not run configure for "make clean" and "make distclean" when
the make program supports $MAKECMDGOALS. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Inconsistency: ":sp foo" does not reload "foo", unless "foo" is
the current buffer. (Liang Li)
Solution: Do not reload the current buffer on a split command.
Problem: The cursor report sequence is sometimes not recognized and results
in entering replace mode.
Solution: Also check for the cursor report when not asked for.
Problem: ":mksession" writes command to move to second argument while it
does not exist. When it does exist the order might be wrong.
Solution: Use ":argadd" for each argument instead of using ":args" with a
list of names. (Nobuhiro Takasaki)
Problem: Can't build Vim with Perl when -Dusethreads is not specified for
building Perl, and building Vim with --enable-perlinterp=dynamic.

function may do the wrong thing.
Solution: Check the platform, when the wide function is supported don't fall
back to the non-wide function. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Completion hangs when scanning the current buffer after doing
keywords. (Christian Brabandt)
Solution: Set the first match position when starting to scan the current
buffer.
Problem: Get E685 error when assigning a function to an autoload variable.
(Yukihiro Nakadaira)
Solution: Instead of having a global no_autoload variable, pass an autoload
flag down to where it is used. (ZyX)
Problem: Cursor moves to wrong position when using "gj" after "$" and
virtual editing is active.
Solution: Make "gj" behave differently when virtual editing is active.

Solution: Adjust documention: return empty string for unknown register.
Check the register name to be valid. (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
Problem: Problems when building with Borland: st_mode is signed short;
can't build with Python; temp files not ignored by Mercurial;

Problem: Crash when wiping out buffer triggers autocommand that wipes out
only other buffer.
Solution: Do not delete the last buffer, make it empty. (Hirohito Higashi)
Problem: MS-Windows: When saving a file with a UNC path the file becomes
read-only.
Solution: Don't mix up Win32 attributes and Unix attributes. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Win32: When 'encoding' is set to "utf-8" and the active codepage
is cp932 then ":grep" and other commands don't work for multi-byte
characters.
Solution: (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: It's possible that redrawing the status lines causes
win_redr_custom() to be called recursively.
Solution: Protect against recursiveness. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: Can't build with Cygwin/MingW and Perl 5.18.
Solution: Add a linker argument for the Perl library. (Cesar Romani)
Adjust CFLAGS and LIB. (Cesar Romani)
Move including inline.h further down. (Ken Takata)
Problem: "gUgn" cannot be repeeated. (Dimitar Dimitrov)
Solution: Don't put "gn" in a different order in the redo buffer. Restore
'wrapscan' when the pattern isn't found. (Christian Wellenbrock)
Problem: Python: When vim.eval() encounters a Vim error, a try/catch in the
Python code doesn't catch it. (Yggdroot Chen)
Solution: Throw exceptions on errors in vim.eval(). (ZyX)
Problem: Using \1 in pattern goes one line too far. (Bohr Shaw, John Little)
Solution: Only advance the match end for the matched characters in the last
line.
Problem: NFA regexp doesn't handle backreference correctly. (Ryuichi
Hayashida, Urtica Dioica)
Solution: Always add NFA_SKIP, also when it already exists at the start
position.
Problem: Append in blockwise Visual mode with "$" is wrong.
Solution: After "$" don't use the code that checks if the cursor was moved.
(Hirohito Higashi, Ken Takata)
Problem: When using ":'<,'>del" errors may be given for the visual line
numbers being out of range.
Solution: Reset Visual mode in ":del". (Lech Lorens)
Problem: Win32: When a directory name contains an exclamation mark,
completion doesn't complete the contents of the directory.
Solution: Escape the exclamation mark. (Jan Stocker)
Problem: When editing a file in a directory mounted through sshfs Vim
doesn't set the security context on a renamed file.
Solution: Add mch_copy_sec() to vim_rename(). (Peter Backes)
Problem: When spell checking is enabled Asian characters are always marked
as error.
Solution: When 'spelllang' contains "cjk" do not mark Asian characters as
error. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Skipping over an expression when not evaluating it does not work
properly for dict members.
Solution: Skip over unrecognized expression. (ZyX)
Problem: When inserting text in Visual block mode and moving the cursor the
wrong text gets repeated in other lines.
Solution: Use the '[ mark to find the start of the actually inserted text.
(Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Using "gf" in a changed buffer suggests adding "!", which is not
possible. (Tim Chase)
Solution: Pass a flag to check_changed() wether adding ! make sense.
Problem: DOS installer creates shortcut without a path, resulting in the
current directory to be C:\Windows\system32.
Solution: Use environment variables.
Problem: When undo'ing all changes and creating a new change the undo
structure is incorrect. (Christian Brabandt)
Solution: When deleting the branch starting at the old header, delete the
whole branch, not just the first entry.
Problem: Cannot right shift lines starting with #.
Solution: Allow the right shift when 'cino' contains #N with N > 0.
(Christian Brabandt)
Refactor parsing 'cino', store the values in the buffer.
Problem: MS-Windows: When there is a colon in the file name (sub-stream
feature) the swap file name is wrong.
Solution: Change the colon to "%". (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: When recording, the character typed at the hit-enter prompt is
recorded twice. (Urtica Dioica)
Solution: Avoid recording the character twice. (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: When replacing a character in Visual block mode, entering a CR
does not cause a repeated line break.
Solution: Recognize the situation and repeat the line break. (Christian
Brabandt)
Problem: With 'fo' set to "a2" inserting a space in the first column may
cause the cursor to jump to the previous line.
Solution: Handle the case when there is no comment leader properly. (Tor
Perkins) Also fix that cursor is in the wrong place when spaces
get replaced with a Tab.
Problem: Syntax highlighting a Yaml file causes a crash. (Blake Preston)

lines with a single digit. (Ryan Carney)
Solution: Adjust the logic of is_one_char(). (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: When using ":setlocal" for 'spell' and 'spellang' then :spelldump
doesn't work. (Dimitar Dimitrov)
Solution: Copy the option variables to the new window used to show the dump.
(Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Valgrind error on exit when a script-local variable holds a
reference to the scope of another script.
Solution: First clear all variables, then free the scopes. (ZyX)
Problem: MS-Windows: MSCV10 and earlier can't handle symlinks to a
directory properly.
Solution: Add stat_symlink_aware() and wstat_symlink_aware(). (Ken Takata)
Problem: Using "zw" and "zg" when 'spell' is off give a confusing error
message. (Gary Johnson)
Solution: Ignore the error when locating the word. Explicitly mention what
word was added. (Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Using "\ze" in a sub-pattern does not result in the end of the
match to be set. (Axel Bender)
Solution: Copy the end of match position when a recursive match was
successful.
Problem: When the terminal has only 20 lines test 92 and 93 overwrite the
input file.
Solution: Explicitly write test.out. Check that the terminal is large enough
to run the tests. (Hirohito Higashi)
Problem: ":diffoff!" resets options even when 'diff' is not set. (Charles
Cooper)
Solution: Only resets related options in a window where 'diff' is set.
Problem: Equivalence classes are not working for multi-byte characters.
Solution: Copy the rules from the old to the new regexp engine. Add a test
to check both engines.
Problem: Another valgrind error when using CTRL-X CTRL-F at the start of

edited file may be owned by another user, which is not allowed.
(cac2s)
Solution: Accept an undo file owned by the current user.

Chinese characters. (Yue Wu)
Solution: Take care of multi-byte characters when looking for the start of
the file name. (Ken Takata)
Problem: ":help !!" does not find the "!!" tag in the help file. (Ben
Fritz)
Solution: When reading the start of the tags file do parse lines that are
not header lines.
