[vim/vim] `<C-R> <C-W>` does not work as expected (Issue #19886)

[Jan Britz]

janbritz created an issue (vim/vim#19886)

Steps to reproduce

1. Start Vim and enter insert mode.
2. Type a word, e.g. "test".
3. Switch back to normal mode.
4. Search for a substring which does not include the beginning of the word, e.g. type "/es" to search for "es".
5. Press CTRL-R CTRL-W.
6. Notice that the whole word gets appended to the search term: "/estest".

Expected behaviour

Let me quote :h incsearch:

CTRL-R CTRL-W can be used to add the word at the end of the current match, excluding the characters that were already typed.

The whole word should not have been appended in its entirety but only the "t": "/est".

Version of Vim

9.2.0277

Environment

OS: Arch Linux
Terminal: Alacritty 0.16.1
Shell: Bash 5.3.9

The whole word should not have been appended in its entirety but only the "t": "/est".

Technically that doesn't match the description either, as the t before the es isn't added to the cmdline.
