Hi, Folks, I found that vim could highlight text incorrectly in blockwise visual selection when the selection in performed in "reversed" order. The problem can be replicated like this:
1. Start vim without loading anything (follows Gary's instruction): vim -N -u NONE -i NONE --cmd 'set go+=M' 2. Create a few lines (more than one lines). 3. 'G' to the last line. 4. Make a blockwise visual selection in "reversed" order. That is, after <C-V>, start moving cursor backward and upward with 'h'/'k'. 5. After the selection is made, start blockwise insert/append using 'I' or 'A'. Normally, the visual highlight should have been removed by now. However, you'll find visual highlight will stay after the above steps. The highlight won't be removed even if you escape to normal mode. The blockwise insert/append operation itself does function correctly. I have verified this on following systems: - Vim 7.0 (patch 1-168) on Windows XP - Vim 7.0 (patch 1-168) on Solaris 8 - Vim 7.0 (patch 1-168) on Slackware 11.0 - Vim 7.0 (patch 1-122) on Debian testing This should be a minor issue, there's no impact on functionality.
