When I use . to repeat a deletion using a vim-sneak motion, it clobbers the most-recently used register, even when that register was not used for the action being repeated. Here's a short, crisp test: open a file and insert the text
good_bad_
and position your cursor at the start of the line. Then press the following keys (or your setup's equivalents, I guess):
"ayf_df_."ap
In other words: yank good_ into register a, delete to the first _ (without writing to any register), repeat, then dump the current contents of a. I expect a to still have the content it had from the very first yank, namely, good_; but instead I observe that it contains bad_.
