race condition after 2:" for ex-commands ? (or thrown away buffer?)

[oliver]

Helo,

when I fast type (for example)

: set noai

before starting to change to insert.-mode,
this command will not be executed.
But instead I will already be in insert-mode.

Somehow, if I don't wait for the ":" to appear in the
status line, one of the following characters
will be interpreted as one of the insert-mode commands
(e.g. "o" or "a" or "i").

Is this a known problem?
Can be really annoying if I always have to wait
until the ":" appears.

I would just like to type
------------
: set noai
I
and my text then here
------------

and hope that the system buffer will just make anything
available for vim.

Maybe vim does discard the input buffer, when it sees the ":"
but it also discards my command then.

I would like to have this probem fixed...

Ciao,
Oliver

To all,

Oliver posted this same question to the vim_dev list as well as the
vim_use list. Tony and I have already replied on the vim_dev list,
so I think it would best to keep the discussion there rather than
have two discussions of the same question.

Oliver,

Please post each question to one list or the other, but not to both.

Regards,
Gary

I was not aware being on two lists.
I wondered why my posting was not there....

Used gmane and goole to find it.
Just ised the first (?) link I got to gmane
and did not looked at the differences.
I was not aware there are so many vim-lists.

Sorry for the double postings.

Ciao,
Oliver
