Problem: The script to check translations fails if there is more than one
NL in one line.
Solution: Count the number of NL characters. Make count() accept a string.
Problem: Build problems with terminal on MS-Windows using MSVC.
Solution: Remove stdbool.h dependency. Only use ScreenLinesUC when it was
allocated. Fix typos. (Ken Takata)
Problem: Options of a buffer for a terminal window are not set properly.
Solution: Add "terminal" value for 'buftype'. Make 'buftype' and
'bufhidden' not depend on the quickfix feature.
Also set the buffer name and show "running" or "finished" in the
window title.
Problem: There is no way to notice that the quickfix window contents has
changed.
Solution: Increment b:changedtick when updating the quickfix window.
(Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Problem: Not easy to start Vim cleanly without changing the viminfo file.
Not possible to know whether the -i command line flag was used.
Solution: Add the --clean command line argument. Add the 'viminfofile'
option. Add "-u DEFAULTS".
Problem: An error in a timer can make Vim unusable.
Solution: Don't set the error flag or exception from a timer. Stop a timer
if it causes an error 3 out of 3 times. Discard an exception
caused inside a timer.
Problem: No terminal emulator support. Cannot properly run commands in the
GUI. Cannot run a job interactively with an ssh connection.
Solution: Very early implementation of the :terminal command. Includes
libvterm converted to ANSI C. Many parts still missing.
Problem: Minor issues related to quickfix.
Solution: Set the proper return status for all cases in setqflist() and at
test cases for this. Move the "adding" flag outside of
FEAT_WINDOWS. Minor update to the setqflist() help text. (Yegappan
Lakshmanan)
Problem: Crash when closing the quickfix window in a FileType autocommand
that triggers when the quickfix window is opened.
Solution: Save the new value before triggering the OptionSet autocommand.
Add the "starting" flag to test_override() to make the text work.
Problem: Text found after :endfunction is silently ignored.
Solution: Give a warning if 'verbose' is set. When | or \n are used,
execute the text as a command.
Problem: When opening a help file the filetype is set several times.
Solution: When setting the filetype to the same value from a modeline, don't
trigger FileType autocommands. Don't set the filetype to "help"
when it's already set correctly.
Problem: The cursor position is set to the last position in a new commit
message.
Solution: Don't set the position if the filetype matches "commit".
(Christian Brabandt)
Problem: Cannot easily get to the last quickfix list.
Solution: Add "$" as a value for the "nr" argument of getqflist() and
setqflist(). (Yegappan Lakshmanan)
Problem: The :global command does not work recursively, which makes it
difficult to execute a command on a line where one pattern matches
and another does not match. (Miles Cranmer)
Solution: Allow for recursion if it is for only one line. (closes#1760)
Problem: The conf filetype detection is done before ftdetect scripts from
packages that are added later.
Solution: Add the FALLBACK argument to :setfiletype. (closes#1679,
closes#1693)
Problem: Setting nocompatible for the tiny version moves the cursor.
Solution: Use another trick to skip commands when the +eval feature is
present. (Christian Brabandt, closes#1630)
Problem: Character classes are not well tested. They can differ between
platforms.
Solution: Add tests. In the documentation make clear which classes depend
on what library function. Only use :cntrl: and :graph: for ASCII.
(Kazunobu Kuriyama, Dominique Pelle, closes#1560)
Update the documentation.
Problem: On MS-Windows ":!start" does not work as expected.
Solution: When creating a process fails try passing the argument to
ShellExecute(). (Katsuya Hino, closes#1570)
