Are you sure you got the latest versions of the plugins? The plugins are
runtime files, and as such you must update them separately -- most of
their upgrades are not the object of a patch.
I just did
:0verbose vimgrep /[EMAIL PROTECTED]/ $VIMRUNTIME/**/*.vim
(where ~@ is obtained by hitting Ctrl-V followed by x80 and ÿ by hitting
Ctrl-V followed by xff) and I didn't find any "bad" results. Most of the
results I found were either comments, irrelevant statements, or keymaps
or ":menutrans" commands having either a ":scriptencoding" command at
the top, or an encoding in the filename, or both.
Can you tell me exactly in which script (of which date) you find that
misbehaving menu statement (use ":verbose menu" followed by the menu
name to see where it was set), so I can check the mod-date mentioned at
the top of that script on my system?
Best regards,
Tony.
