Description David Klempner 2005-01-16 16:53:17 UTC

when in a UTF-8 locale, vim seems to think that certain characters (such as spaces or periods) take up two spaces rather than one.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.$ LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 vim
2.type 1234567890, return to beginning of line
3.enter insert mode, type "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs."

Actual Results:  
The 1quick 2brown 3fox 4jumped 5over 6the 7lazy 8dogs.90
with the cursor on the 0

Expected Results:  
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.1234567890

Unable to reproduce here.

Comment 2 David Klempner 2005-01-16 18:12:01 UTC

It turns out the issue is in vimspell-1.95; it affects both vim-6.3 and vim-7.0alpha, and goes away if vimspell is either removed or downgraded to 1.84-r2. (summary changed to reflect this)

Comment 3 Ciaran McCreesh 2005-01-17 11:05:57 UTC

Mmm, could you take this one upstream please? I'm a bit reluctant to try messing too much with certain plugins, especially when we have an active upstream.

Reopening.  

I received an email from Jiang Qian <qian2@fas.harvard.edu> regarding this
issue.  That is below.  Attached is a patch against vimspell-1.95 that is
provided by upstream to fix the issue.

Hi there:
I googled around about the bug I found in vimspell script and found 
your website also reported the bug:
http://dev.gentoo.org/~absinthe/archives/2005-01-30T05_39_35.html
I then found out how to deal with it and thought you might want to know 
about it. I emailed the author of vimspell and he said it is a bug that 
occurs in utf-8 encoding and the attached patch solved it. I tried it 
out and found out that indeed it resolved the issue.

vimspell is package.masked and pending removal from portage, closing WONTFIX.
