This is normal behavior. The message is given and then the screen is redrawn. That removes the message again in this situation. This message isn't considered important, thus it's not repeated after the redraw. You can see it with ":messages" if you need to. Drawing the message again may introduce new problems, such as the 'showcmd' and 'ruler' space getting in the way. That's why it is not done. -- Shit makes the flowers grow and that's beautiful /// Bram Moolenaar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ download, build and distribute -- http://www.A-A-P.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org ///
