Bug#487385: vim-runtime: netrw explorer does not handle dot files correctly in wide listing mode

[Teemu Likonen]

Package: vim-runtime
Version: 1:7.1.314-3
Severity: normal

The netrw explorer does not correctly handle files starting with a dot
in wide listing mode. Here's an example:

  $ mkdir temp
  $ cd temp
  $ echo foo1 >.foo1
  $ echo foo2 >.foo2
  $ echo foo3 >.foo3

  $ vim .

Change to the wide listing mode by pressing "i" a couple of times. The
directory contents looks like this:

  ../    .foo1  .foo2  .foo3

Now try to open files .foo1, .foo2 and .foo3 to a preview window by
pressing the "p" key. Files .foo1 and .foo2 open correctly but the file
..foo3 opens as a new file named .foo (i.e., the last character [3] is
missing).

Other listing modes (thin, long and tree) work nicely with dot files.
