Package: vim
Version: 2:7.3.154+hg~74503f6ee649-2+b1
Severity: normal
Using vim's dot command (.) doesn't work correctly when dealing with
multibyte characters. To replicate, create the following buffer:
> ££££££££
> $$$$$$$$
Now enter visual mode and delete four pound signs on the top line. Go
to the second line and hit dot; now there is only a single remaining
dollar sign on the second line. Vim appears to delete the number of
bytes deleted on the first line *minus 1*, which suggests it makes an
attempt at understanding the difference between bytes and characters,
but fails.
