Problem: Pointer ownership around fname_expand() is unclear.
Solution: Allow b_ffname and b_sfname to point to the same allocated memory,
only free one. Update comments.
Problem: MS-Windows: Filter command with pipe character fails. (Johannes
Riecken)
Solution: Find the pipe character outside of quotes. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto,
closes#1743, closes#3523)
Problem: Xdiff doesn't use the Vim memory allocation functions.
Solution: Change the xdl_ defines. Check for out-of-memory. Rename
"ignored" to "vim_ignored".
Problem: File name not displayed with ":file" when 'F' is in 'shortmess'.
Solution: Always display the file name when there is no argument (Christian
Brabandt, closes#3070)
Problem: Get "no write since last change" message if a terminal is open.
(Fritz mehner)
Solution: Don't consider a buffer changed if it's a terminal window.
Problem: Race condition between stat() and open() for the viminfo temp
file. (Simon Ruderich)
Solution: use open() with O_EXCL to atomically check if the file exists.
Don't try using a temp file, renaming it will fail anyway.
Problem: The temp file used when updating the viminfo file may have the
wrong permissions if setting the group fails.
Solution: Check if the group matches and reduce permissions if not.
Problem: :wall gives an errof for a terminal window. (Marius Gedminas)
Solution: Don't try writing a buffer that can't be written. (Yasuhiro
Matsumoto, closes#2190)
Problem: FEAT_WINDOWS adds a lot of #ifdefs while it is nearly always
enabled and only adds 7% to the binary size of the tiny build.
Solution: Graduate FEAT_WINDOWS.
Problem: Get "no write since last change" error in terminal window.
Solution: Use another message when closing a terminal window. Make ":quit!"
also end the job.
Problem: Not easy to start Vim cleanly without changing the viminfo file.
Not possible to know whether the -i command line flag was used.
Solution: Add the --clean command line argument. Add the 'viminfofile'
option. Add "-u DEFAULTS".
Problem: When opening a help file the filetype is set several times.
Solution: When setting the filetype to the same value from a modeline, don't
trigger FileType autocommands. Don't set the filetype to "help"
when it's already set correctly.
Problem: When 'hlsearch' is set and matching with the last search pattern
is very slow, Vim becomes unusable. Cannot quit search by
pressing CTRL-C.
Solution: When the search times out set a flag and don't try again. Check
for timeout and CTRL-C in NFA loop that adds states.
Problem: The :global command does not work recursively, which makes it
difficult to execute a command on a line where one pattern matches
and another does not match. (Miles Cranmer)
Solution: Allow for recursion if it is for only one line. (closes#1760)
Problem: The ":stag" command does not respect 'switchbuf'.
Solution: Check 'switchbuf' for tag commands that may open a new window.
(Ingo Karkat, closes#1681) Define macros for the return values
of getfile().
Problem: The cursor line number becomes negative when using :z^ in an empty
buffer. (neovim #6557)
Solution: Correct the line number. Also reset the column.
Problem: Getting name of cleared highlight group is wrong. (Matt Wozniski)
Solution: Only skip over cleared names for completion. (closes#1592)
Also fix that a cleared group causes duplicate completions.
