MacVim redrawing broken?

[Nico Weber]

Hi,

here's a strange MacVim bug I see:

1. Open MacVim
2. Type "10oa<exc>" to create one empty line followed by the lines
containing a single "a"
3. Hit gggUG to convert all lines to uppercase

MacVim claims that "11 lines changed", but only the first line is
redrawn with an uppercase "A". Hitting <Ctrl-l> doesn't change this,
and even hitting ga over one of the lowercase "a"s claims that it's
still a lowercase letter, so this is probably not a redrawing problem.

I'll check if the latest svn version of regular vim has this problem
too (works with the vim that ships with Leopard).

This works fine with the latest terminal and carbon versions of vim
(7.1.258).

I just tried it here on my vim on Debian testing, and I see the same
issue (in both GUI and terminal). So it looks to me like it's a vim core
bug, and not a MacVim specific thing.

Here's my :version, in case that's useful:

So - I don't think that this is a redraw issue, but more of an core
issue. I tried this with macvim update 22 and got the result you show.
However, I saved that file and reloaded it. The file has only a single
A and the rest lowercase. I also tried this with an older vim install
on my mac (7.0.234) and it did not have this issue (both carbon gvim
and terminal vim).

Post a bug to the mainline VIM site is my suggestion.

This was a bug introduced by a recent patch, and fixed by a more recent patch to
the Vim core.

Ben, thanks for letting me know. The next snapshot will include all
the most recent Vim patches so this issue should go away then.
