Problem: Translators don't always understand the maintainer message.
Solution: Add a comment that ends up in the generated po file. (Christian
Brabandt, closes#3037)
Problem: In terminal window, typing : at more prompt, inserts ':' instead
of starting another Ex command.
Solution: Add skip_term_loop and set it when putting ':' in the typeahead
buffer.
Problem: Cannot tell whether a register is being used for executing or
recording.
Solution: Add reg_executing() and reg_recording(). (Hirohito Higashi,
closes#2745) Rename the global variables for consistency. Store
the register name in reg_executing.
Problem: Slow redrawing with DirectX.
Solution: Avoid calling gui_mch_flush() unnecessarily, especially when
updating the cursor. (Ken Takata, closes#2560)
Problem: Cannot use 'balloonexpr' in a terminal.
Solution: Add 'balloonevalterm' and add code to handle mouse movements in a
terminal. Initial implementation for Unix with GUI.
Problem: Mac features are confusing.
Solution: Make feature names more consistent, add "osxdarwin". Rename
feature flags, cleanup Mac code. (Kazunobu Kuriyama, closes#2178)
Problem: Using try/catch in timer does not prevent it from being stopped.
Solution: Reset the exception context and use did_emsg instead of
called_emsg.
Problem: Scrolling in a terminal hwindow as flicker when the Normal
background differs from the terminal window background.
Solution: Set the attribute to clear with.
Problem: MS-Windows: Depending on the console encoding, an error message
that is given during startup may be broken.
Solution: Convert the message to the console codepage. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto,
closes#1927)
Problem: Using a function pointer instead of the actual function, which we
know.
Solution: Change mb_ functions to utf_ functions when already checked for
Unicode. (Dominique Pelle, closes#1582)
Problem: After aborting an Ex command g< does not work. (Marcin
Szamotulski)
Solution: Postpone clearing scrollback messages to until the command line
has been entered. Also fix that the screen isn't redrawn if after
g< the command line is cancelled.
Problem: Testing the + register fails with Motif.
Solution: Also ignore the "failed to create input context" error in the
second gvim. Don't use msg() when it would result in a dialog.
Problem: When in Ex mode and an error is caught by try-catch, Vim still
exits with a non-zero exit code.
Solution: Don't set ex_exitval when inside a try-catch. (partly by Christian
Brabandt)
Problem: When reading channel output in a timer, messages may go missing.
(Skywind)
Solution: Add the "drop" option. Write error messages in the channel log.
Don't have ch_canread() check for the channel being open.
Problem: Cannot make Vim fail on an internal error.
Solution: Add IEMSG() and IEMSG2(). (Domenique Pelle) Avoid reporting an
internal error without mentioning where.
Problem: printf() test fails on Windows. "-inf" is not used.
Solution: Check for Windows-specific values for "nan". Add sign to "inf"
when appropriate.
Problem: :filter does not work for many commands. Can only get matching
messages.
Solution: Make :filter work for :command, :map, :list, :number and :print.
Make ":filter!" show non-matching lines.
Problem: Adding pattern to ":oldfiles" is not a generic solution.
Solution: Add the ":filter /pat/ cmd" command modifier. Only works for some
commands right now.
Problem: printf() gives an error when the argument for %s is not a string.
(Ozaki Kiichi)
Solution: Behave like invoking string() on the argument. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Not all arguments of trunc_string() are tested. Memory access
error when running the message tests.
Solution: Add another test case. (Yegappan Lakshmanan) Make it easy to run
unittests with valgrind. Fix the access error.
