Re: 1.7.35: possible backspace key and arrow keys bug


I corroborate the original poster's experience with this issue.

Steps to reproduce the issue: for example open a file with vim under
Cygwin, press: up, up, down, down, left, left, right, right. Vim under
Cygwin places:

C
C
D
D
B
B
A
A

in the file due to the arrow keys being pressed. Vim under bash on
Linux or the Mac terminal does not treat the arrow keys as file input,
but rather simply uses them to move the cursor about in the file.

Regards,
Weston
