Works for me in Vim 7.3a, Huge, with GTK2 GUI, in both GUI and Console

I see the red message just above the word "-- INSERT --" at the bottom
of the Vim screen.
However, in 7.2.411 there seems to be a missing redraw: I don't see the
message when the rollover happens, but if at that moment I hit Ctrl-O
(which still waits for a Normal-mode command) the red message appears.
You didn't say which version you have. Either it's been fixed in one of
the patches (if any) between what you have and 7.2.436 (but I don't see
anything obvious in the README of the patches), or else it's been
corrected between 7.2 and 7.3a.
Best regards,
Tony.
No luck, I have the 7.2.411 version (because it is the latest
available for windows with the Cream without cream distribution).
Well, you can still compile it yourself, it is not really hard: see my
HowTo for Windows
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm and, about
getting the source, the page I wrote a few days ago at
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial (the ftp
archives and patches, and maybe some other source outlets, are still
available too).
I guess the 7.3a version is not public yet.
It depends what you call public: anyone can get the source (from the
same Mercurial repository as the 7.2 source but under a different branch
named "vim73") but it is still in "pre-beta" testing. It has some
exciting new features, such as the 'relativenumber' feature built-in and
a second (stronger) encryption method which doesn't replace the former
(weaker) one but exists side-by-side with it (so that existing encrypted
files can still be read and that encrypted files can still be written to
be read with versions of Vim equipped only with the weaker encryption).
However, it is not yet ready for prime time, and from time to time there
are severe bugs: for instance a little more than 24 hours ago a bug was
found which prevented compiling on Linux with Perl and/or Python, but
the first attempts at fixing it prevented compiling on Windows... After
coming back from town I find a new patch is in, which compiles OK on my
Linux system; I hope the Windows guys can use it too.
So you see: anyone can get the current state of the vim 7.3a source (and
in that sense it is public) but at the moment there has not even been
one beta release (and in that sense it is not yet public): it is for the
people who like the fun of adventure and of living on the edge (and IMHO
it _is_ fun, this way) but not for mission-critical projects and not for
those serious businessmen who only adopt a software product version when
everyone else has started installing the third version following it. :-)

Q: How many journalists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Three. One to report it as an inspired government program to bring
light to the people, one to report it as a diabolical government
plot to deprive the poor of darkness, and one to win a pulitzer
prize for reporting that Electric Company hired a lightbulb
assassin to break the bulb in the first place.
