virtcol() fails to deliver the correct screen column if showbreak is set to a value other than "" and wrap is on, i.e. it doesn't take into account the length of the string that showbreak is set to.
To reproduce: 1) Start a "bare" gvim with a text containing a long line. 2) :set nowrap 3) Position the cursor at the beginning of a word towards the end of the line. 4) :echo virtcol(".") 5) :set wrap " Make sure the cursor is in a 'wrapped' line 6) :echo virtcol(".") " Returns the same value 7) :set showbreak=(-->) 8) :echo virtcol(".") " Will return a distinct value col(".")'s return value would not change, but it's not Unicode (UTF-8) proof... -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
