I don't know if anyone in the mists of time has noticed and reported this feature before, but there is a serious bug in the line folding stuff when wrapmargin is non-zero. Repeat-by: Set wrapmargin=10. Create yourself a small file with the same line copied 3 or 4 times with each line just shorter than where the line break would occur. Go to the last word on line 1. Add in some text to cause a line split. Got to the last word on line 2. Type '.' to repeat the insert. Observe Fix-by: Don't know...I haven't the time to look just now. -- -------- Nick Stoughton nick@inset.co.uk Hit it with a hammer -- sure to work then! nick@inset.UUCP ...!ukc!inset!nick
