Re: Typeahead character loss when running Vim.

Hello?

I asked this nearly two years ago; doesn't anyone else have this
problem?

Is it fixed in newer versions of Vim?

On an Ubuntu 11.04 which has a dated version of Vim, if I do this:

$ vim some_file

and upon hitting enter, immediately type, "io", sometimes Vim ends up in
command mode as if nothing was typed, then sometimes it ends up in an
insert on the same line, and the character o has been entered, as
expected.
Most of the time, though, one of the other four possibilities happens,
based on which of the two characters is dropped, or both: it's in
command
mode, insert mode on the same line, or insert mdoe with a new line
having
been o)pened.
