Description Philipp 2013-01-21 21:40:33 UTC

When mapping the char "g" in any way to another char in my .vimrc, and opening a file afterwards, the file gets modified.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Backup you .vimrc
2. Create new. vimrc just conaining the line "map g i"
3. Save and close vim
4. Open an existing file
Actual Results:  
In the beginning of the first line the String '" appears

Expected Results:  
The file should be opened as it is.

You can also use other commands that map g e.g.
set langmap=gi
or an equivalent.

When you delete (move away) /etc/vim/vimrc , the Problem disappears. This is why I believe, this Bug is Gentoo-Specific. Unfortunately I am just new to vim and don't really understand what happens in /etc/vim/vimrc but this is definitely the place to start looking for this error.

Hi!

Can you reproduce this with Vim 8.0?
