Package: vim
Version: 2:8.0.0197-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
When the file "tags" (or also "TAGS") was created with the 'etags' command, e.g.
$ etags file.c
then this (or some other) file edited with
$ vim file.c
and pressed Ctrl-] pressed on an identifier, it gives the error message:
E492: Not an editor command: void foo(int n) {^?foo
This started with Stretch. In all older Debian version it worked well.
I observe this behavior also on other stretch-only systems.
Many thanks!
- A. Burger
