+1 from me; I also think the CursorLine_overrides_SpecialKey.patch is
better. Thank you for including the graphical comparison; that's really
helpful!

Though purely cosmetic, this issue is indeed disturbing people; e.g. see
the following Stack Overflow questions about this:

Hi,

I've found a bug in the previous patch, but fixed.
Contents of the bug are:
* set list listchars=eol:$ conceallevel=1 concealcursor=nvic
* syntax match NonText / / conceal cchar=.
* Insert space(0x20), not displayed eol character.

SpecialKey_overrides_CursorLine_ver2.patch
-> Every highlighting listchars chatscters & conceal characters.

CursorLine_overrides_SpecialKey_ver2.patch

-> Easy to use because it is similar to the current version.

This patches is ConcealCharacters will be treated the same as SpecialKey.
Make the other versions it is easy.

Best regards,
DeaR

Thanks. I can't find an item in the todo list for this, did one exist?

I wonder if this is ever going to make it to a release? This is the most annoying thing in Vim for me.

Hi Rafael!

This is not a simple patch and it is hard to follow the logic. screen.c
changes are definitely messy and have in the past often broken something
in the past. So can you please tell us, what bug this fixes? Also tests
would be really appreciated ;)


Best,
Christian
