New issue 256 by malco...@google.com: Populating the quickfix list
sometimes hides previous messages
https://code.google.com/p/vim/issues/detail?id=256
Minimal reproduction:
1. vim -N -u NONE -U NONE -i NONE
2. :file foo
3. Insert lines "foo", "bar", "baz".
(cursor is now on line 3)
4. :echomsg('hello')|cexpr('foo:2:1:message')
(cursor is now on line 2)
5. :echomsg('hello')|cexpr('foo:2:1:message')
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
#4 and #5 produce different results:
- if the cursor needs to move line (#4), cexpr() [or setqflist(), etc]
suppresses the message produced by echomsg(), displaying only "(1 of 1):
message" in the status line and moving the cursor to the first quickfix
location.
- if the cursor is already on the correct line (#5), regardless of whether
it's on the correct column, then both the echomsg message and quickfix
message are displayed in the status line, followed by a "Press ENTER"
message (after which the cursor jumps to the right location).
If instead, the quickfix window is open, then everything is consistent: the
echomsg message appears in the status line, the quickfix list is populated
correctly, and the cursor jumps to the first quickfix location.
This only happens in nocompatible mode; in vi-compatible mode, the echomsg
message always appears (and you always need to press enter).
I'm not sure which of #4 and #5 should be correct, but the inconsistency
seems like a bug.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
vim 7.4.430 on Ubuntu 12.04.2; this seems to occur in at least
7.0.1-7.4.443.
