breaks macros containing dot-repeat

[justinmk]

On Windows gvim with repeat.vim, replaying a macro that contains a dot-repeat invocation will insert the @. register instead of repeating.

confirmed on:

• msys2 Vim 7.4.183.
• MacVim 7.4.103
• Windows vim.org 7.4.0 build
• this 64-bit 7.4.192 build
• this 32-bit 7.4.205 build.

Minimal steps to reproduce:

• start gvim.exe with gvim.exe -N -u NONE
• :source repeat.vim
• insert this text:

a b c
a b c

• on line 1 column 1, perform: qqdw.ifoo<esc>q
• on line 2 column 1, perform: @q
• the result:

fooc
fofooob c

Which is wrong. The expected result is:

fooc
fooc

This could be a bug in feedkeys()...

Is this confirmed to be Windows only?

Possibly relevant: d8f7fe7. One solution could be to use norm on Vim 7.4.

Also reproduced on a a Bodhi Linux box with Vim 7.2.330 (and confirmed that the issue does not occur if repeat.vim is not sourced).

Thanks for linking that commit, it will be helpful for reporting to vim_dev.

Also occurs on MacVim. Sorry for the confusion. When I tested on MacVim before, I hadn't yet narrowed down the minimum steps.

:nnoremap . :call feedkeys(".", "n")<cr> is enough to reproduce the issue.

vim_dev has given some attention to this issue, and it appears that there is no general solution for feedkeys(). So here's a PR that uses :norm for Vim >= 7.3.100: https://github.com/tpope/vim-repeat/pull/36

Actually feedkeys just got a new flag i that could now be used: Patch 7.4.601
