[vim/vim] 'Press ENTER or type command to continue' despite the text fitting perfectly fine (Issue #12570)
wyot1
Steps to reproduce
Produce a line in any way, like an echo, and gradually add more characters to it. It will trigger the effect despite fitting.
It is not a case of a hidden newline:
Expected behaviour
Only trigger when there is actually more than fits.

The localized error message must still fit on the last line, else you will see the "Press ENTER or type command to continue" message on the next line.
In addition, it matters whether you have enabled 'showcmd' and 'ruler'.
I did a quick test with a 80 column terminal using vim --clean and english locale:
| Option | message before it echos on the next line | length (including Error Message) |
|---|---|---|
| set noruler noshowcmd | E492: Not an editor command: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff | 79 |
| set ruler | E492: Not an editor command: ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff 0,0-1 All | 61 |
| set ruler showcmd | E492: Not an editor command: ffffffffffffffffffffff 0,0-1 All | 51 |
I don't think this is an issue here. It just means, Vim will require some space for the ruler and the showcmd option and if it does not fit, it will show the additional "Press ENTER" message.

There's no error in my example, it's a plain echo.
Same effect with noruler and noshowcmd.
Why should that matter anyway, we're only talking about a single empty line? This whole line is free to be used:

So have you 'ruler' and/or 'showcmd' in action?
This whole line is free to be used:
Except for the space reserved for those two settings, no?

No. I set noruler noshowcmd.

No, as when the echo runs, the line is empty.

vim --clean
set noruler noshowcmd
nnoremap <Leader>a :echo '000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000012345678901'<cr>

At no time is anything displayed in the last empty line.
And it should never matter:
- The ruler is in the statusline above in my first image and never even on that line.
- When the echo happens, there is no cmd to be shown. As soon as the command is executed, it's no longer shown, thus the line is again empty.
