Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner.
Ubuntu 13.10 (saucy) reached end-of-life on July 17, 2014. I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue while using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1305778 Title: Misinterpretation of key sequence Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Ubuntu 13.10 Vim: Installed: 2:7.4.000-1ubuntu2 Entering the commands to leave insert mode & insert a new line above the current one, beginning with certain letters, results in punctuation on the current line instead. To reproduce: Start vim, *quickly* type the keys: i<Esc>Om Expected result: New line created above the current one with the letter 'm' in it Actual result: Hyphen inserted on current line Also affects: Letters j,k,n,o j gives *, k gives +, m gives -, n gives ., o gives / Vim version: 7.4 (as installed by Ubuntu 13.10) Happens on my machine, my co-worker's machine, several VMs and to some (not all) of the people I asked about it on IRC. Definitely requires that the typing is done quickly. Causes me problems very frequently because I write a lot of Perl and when I go to declare a variable, I get "-y $foo" on the current line instead of "my $foo" on the previous line.
