Additional info:
Looking up 'help cw' tells me that the behavior I am seeing should
happen if the 'w' flag is set in 'cpoptions'. However, I checked
my cpoptions (with 'set cpoptions?') -- and found that
it is 'aABceFs' -- i.e. no 'w'. Problem still there.
[Sorry I'm re-posting outside the thread as I don't know how to follow
up on the mailing list when I'm not subscribed to it. Would be grateful
if anyone can tell me how.]
Additional information on the problem below
-- I don't have any .vimrc, .gvimrc. .exrc or anything like that in my home directory.
-- I've also tried running 'vim -u NONE' -- and I face the same problem.
(I've seen a reply from Corinna Vinschen suggesting that there may be an
issue with '.vimrc' -- so I cross checked.)
