Well this is fairly recent, but I don't know which patch did it. The old regex engine's behavior broke.
To reproduce: vim -u NONE -N -c "set re=1" Put this text in a buffer: Motörhead (That second "o", with the umlaut, is "<ö> 246, Hex 00f6, Octal 366" according to 'ga'.) :syn match foo '[[:print:]]\+' :hi foo guifg=green Now notice that all the letters in "Motörhead" except the fancy one are green. This seems like a bug; they should all be green. Surely "ö" is "printable". Also notice that if you replace [[:print:]] with [[:alnum:]] it's the same problem. I could swear up and down that Vim did not formerly do this with &re=1; Vim doesn't do it *now* if &re=0. I'm on OS X 10.11.4, with Vim from HEAD. -Manny -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
