I confirm as follows:

I tried

:augroup clock
:au CursorHold * call feedkeys("\x80\xFD\x35") | echon strftime('%c') " "
:augroup END

both in gvim (with &enc == "utf-8") and in konsole (with &enc ==
"Latin1") and saw the datestamp displayed only once while I kept hands
off the keyboard & mouse.

In both cases, Huge version 7.2.411, compiled with GTK2/Gnome2 GUI;
'updatetime' is set to 4000 (the default).

Maybe I missed something too?

Best regards,
Tony.
