Description:
When using "vi" to edit a file with long lines containing tabs,
characters may disappear if you insert characters and are using
a terminal that has "insert mode".
Repeat-By:
Creating a file with a single line that has 71 'a's, a tab character,
and four 'b's. Then use "vi" on the file. Position the cursor on the
tab character (by, for example, tapping the 'f' key and then the tab
key). Then tap the 'i' key to go into insert mode, and tap the 'c' to
insert a 'c'. Now ask yourself: "Where did those 'b's go?"
Fix:
ed ex_vput.c
/^vishft/;/(tabend + shft) \/ WCOLS/c
#ifdef OLDVERSION
for (j = DEPTH(vcline) - 1; j > (tabend + shft) / WCOLS; j--) {
#else
for (j = DEPTH(vcline) - 1; j > (tabend+shft-1) / WCOLS; j--) {
#endif
