I noticed a problem today when editing a paragraph that was wrapped to several
lines on screen. To reproduce, use a file with a line with normal prose text
that wraps to several screen lines, say x.txt, then
vim -u NONE -c "set linebreak showbreak=....>" x.txt
Move to the end of the long line, start a block selection with ctrl-V, press y
to yank it. The yanked text will be from an earlier part of the line, not the
text in the block selection. The offset increases with the amount of space
showing on the right of the text, space that without the 'linebreak' option
would not be blank. It doesn't happen with v for a character selection.
I bisected my .vimrc to find the settings triggering the problem, then used git
bisect to find the problem was introduced with v7.4.576:
Date: Wed Jan 14 17:52:30 2015 +0100
updated for version 7.4.576
Problem: Redrawing problem with 'relativenumber' and 'linebreak'.
Solution: Temporarily reset 'linebreak' and restore it in more places.

I could give a more detailed example, but Google groups might wrap it into a
confusing mess.
I suppose that using a block selection for part of a line that is wrapped with
'linebreak' is marginally useful so this problem is very minor.
