Bug#902263: Affecting Qt transition



Dear Lisandro,

It may have slipped in, because the autopkgtests were so much broken for
a while that I didn't check carefully if a regression was in the Qt
stack. After a while, the abi-compliance check was broken in the
reference as well, so maybe regressions due to gcc are now hidden.
Luckily the abi-compliance checker is now fixed and there are very
limited regressions in the Qt stack at this moment, ktexteditor is the
only one I am aware of.

As I have kate on my system (buster, not fully up-to-date), I tried to
reproduce the reference as it seems that the test is doing something
simple. It appears to create a sting, executes some vim commands and
checks that the outcome is as expected. So it seems unlikely to me that
this should change. To me, either the old code was doing something
weird, or the new code is doing it wrong. The test says "Vim is weird"
so it really looks like the old result is correct. Weirdly enough I get
the same results as the "new" results of the test. So I suspect I am
doing something wrong, as I should get the reference. Which keys did you
press? Do you know what they _should_ do (my vim knowledge is close to
containing only ":q").

j (one line down) V (not in the vim man but Kate says "visual line") j
(one line down) ~ (not in the vim man but Kate capitalizes the by now
two selected lines) u (undo last change) <Esc> (switch back to normal
mode, doesn't do anything AFAICT) ` (?, doesn't do anything AFAICT) [
(?, doesn't do anything AFAICT) r (replace one character at the current
position) [ (this is now inserted as the first character of the third
line for me, overwriting the x).
