Problem: On MS-Windows the viminfo file is (always) given the hidden
attribute. (raulnac)
Solution: Check the hidden attribute in a different way. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Problems with using the MS-Windows console.
Solution: Revert patches 7.4.851, 7.4.876 and 7.4.886 until we find a better
solution. (suggested by Ken Takata)
Problem: Windows7: when using vim.exe with msys or msys2, conhost.exe
(console window provider on Windows7) will freeze or crash.
Solution: Make original screen buffer active, before executing external
program. And when the program is finished, revert to vim's one.
(Taro Muraoka)
Problem: On MS-Windows console Vim uses ANSI APIs for keyboard input and
console output, it cannot input/output Unicode characters.
Solution: Use Unicode APIs for console I/O. (Ken Takata, Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: Saving and restoring the console buffer does not work properly.
Solution: Instead of ReadConsoleOutputA/WriteConsoleOutputA use
CreateConsoleScreenBuffer and SetConsoleActiveScreenBuffer.
(Ken Takata)
Problem: On MS-Windows 8 IME input doen't work correctly.
Solution: Read console input before calling MsgWaitForMultipleObjects().
(vim-jp, Nobuhiro Takasaki)
Problem: On some systems automatically adding the missing EOL causes
problems. Setting 'binary' has too many side effects.
Solution: Add the 'fixeol' option, default on. (Pavel Samarkin)
Problem: On MS-Windows when 'encoding' is a double-byte encoding a file
name longer than MAX_PATH bytes but shorter than that in
characters causes problems.
Solution: Fail on file names longer than MAX_PATH bytes. (Ken Takata)
Problem: MS-Windows: The console title can be wrong.
Solution: Take the encoding into account. When restoring the title use the
right function. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: When the startup code expands command line arguments, setting
'encoding' will not properly convert the arguments.
Solution: Call get_cmd_argsW() early in main(). (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
Problem: When a wide library function fails, falling back to the non-wide
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: Problems when building with Borland: st_mode is signed short;
can't build with Python; temp files not ignored by Mercurial;
building with DEBUG doesn't define _DEBUG.
Solution: Fix the problems. (Ken Takata)
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: MS-Windows: MSCV10 and earlier can't handle symlinks to a
directory properly.
Solution: Add stat_symlink_aware() and wstat_symlink_aware(). (Ken Takata)
