Description Robert Scheck 2007-02-19 16:12:53 UTC 
Description of problem:
Since a view patch levels in vim there's a strange behaviour when pasting
texts into vi/vim: Once a line contains a comment marker, any following lines 
are commented - even if they've their own comment marker in the beginning. 

Simple example would be mark some parts with comments of /etc/vimrc and paste 
into after. Or go to a line with a comment mark, switch into insert mode and 
press enter key, the comment mark will be used as prefix for the next line.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vim-7.0.192-1

How reproducible:
Everytime, see above.

Actual results:
Strange behaviour when pasting texts into vi/vim

Expected results:
Normal behaviour like in the past? :)

That's what :set paste is for. This avoids any unwanted identing or autocomments
when you copy and paste stuff.
Comment 2 Robert Scheck 2007-02-19 16:53:22 UTC 
But why are you changing the default?
Comment 3 Karsten Hopp 2007-02-20 09:50:13 UTC 
due to en error on my side filetype plugins had been disabled, that's what has
been fixed in the latest releases. Please disable that in /etc/vimrc if you
don't like it.
