Can you post the sign definition? When you say "occasionally", do you
know which operation or movement triggers this?

Thanks,
Yegappan

It's a trivial case.

Start with an empty file: gvim -u NONE -U NONE

(I use Windows, gvim 8.1-1608)

:set number numberwidth=1 signcolumn=number

Add the sign (named piet) in the example off :help :sign with the line changed to 1 and no file.

For me, the sign takes three columns, ">> ". Try typing on that line; the cursor should be off by one. Try hitting Escape and then hitting x. Again, off.

Hope this clarifies,

Salman
