Problem: Cmdline ruler may be drawn for autocommand window.
Solution: Check that the current window is not an autocommand window
when deciding whether to draw the ruler.
Problem:
(Followup to 54f22a8f01c0feb27a531b52aedf5cdbd5e51b24.)
Deleting another buffer from a floatwin could move focus into the holder
window and fire BufEnter for the buffer being deleted.
Solution:
Use switch_win_noblock() instead of buf_jump_open_win() before
recursing into do_buffer_ext().
Problem:
Virtual lines above a line where a fold starts show `foldopen` in
`foldcolumn`.
Solution:
Check if the line below the virtual one is inside a fold that starts
higher up or if it's the start of a fold. In the latter case, don't show
anything in `foldcolumn` for the virtual line.

Problem:
When mouse=n is set
- Dragging the mouse enters visual mode, and then stops listening for
mouse events.
- Double/Triple/Quad clicking performs selections.
- Clicking in visual mode moves the cursor (though not through the TUI).
Solution:
Explicitly gate mouse actions that affect visual mode with a check for
MOUSE_VISUAL. This matches the behavior described in :help mouse.
> If enabled for "v" (Visual mode) then double-click selects word-wise,
> triple-click makes it line-wise, and quadruple-click makes it
> rectangular block-wise.
Problem: with a float focused and the target buf only shown in the
last non-float window, do_buffer_ext goes down the buf != curbuf
path. close_windows can't touch the last non-float, b_nwindows stays
> 0, close_buffer is skipped, returns OK silently.
Solution: if a non-float still holds buf after close_windows, jump
into it and recurse. Then buf == curbuf and the existing replacement
path takes over.
Problem:
- Configuring the height of one of the message targets to 1 is
recognized as 100% of 'lines'.
- Cmdline is expanded for message exceeding 'cmdheight' even if the
configured height is smaller than or equal to 'cmdheight'.
Solution:
- Recognize a height of 1 as absolute; a decimal number smaller than 1
is taken as a fraction of 'lines' (replace 1 with 0.999 for the old
behavior).
- Don't expand the cmdline if the configured height doesn't allow it.
Problem:
The Lua test harness still ran through standalone -ll mode, so tests
depended on the low-level Lua path instead of the regular Nvim Lua
environment. That also meant os.exit() coverage had to carry an ASAN
workaround because Lua's raw process exit skipped Nvim teardown and let
LeakSanitizer interfere with the observed exit code.
Solution:
Run the harness and related fixtures with nvim -l. Patch os.exit() in
the main Lua state to exit through getout(), so scripts observe normal
Nvim shutdown while standalone -ll remains available for generator-style
scripts. As a consequence, the startup test can assert os.exit() without
disabling leak detection.

Problem: vim.ui_attach() callback for nvim_echo() call that spoofs an
internal message kind is executed in fast context.
Solution: Set msg_show callback |api-fast| context dynamically at
external message callsites, and for internal list_cmd",
"progress" and "shell*" messages.
Problem: - "bufwrite" message identifier is encoded in the message ID
of a "progress" kind message (since ff68fd6b); UI2 does not
allow routing by message ID.
- No documented way to set a default message target for all
but a few kinds (without copying all of |ui-messages| kinds
to cfg.msg.targets).
- A user adding a message route for the documented empty ""
kind can result in unexpected behavior.
- Showing duplicate message (x) indicator in msg and cmd
targets simultaneously is unsupported.
- Manually triggering CursorMoved autocommand to add matchparen
highlighting in the cmdline.
Solution: - Match cfg.msg.targets keys as Lua pattern to a message ID.
- Recognize "default" as key in cfg.msg.targets, drop the
undocumented cfg.msg.target field.
- Don't try to get configured target for "" message kind/trigger.
- Maintain msg indicator virtual text for the cmd and msg target.
- Add matchparen highlighting by directly calling the Lua module
(possible since b813c7e0).
Problem: 'title' is updated when changing the name of a non-current
buffer with nvim_buf_set_name().
Solution: Set RedrawingDisabled when renaming the buffer.
Problem: No test that "abbr" in customlist completion is shown in pum.
Solution: Add some "abbr" fields to the existing test (zeertzjq).
closes: vim/vim#20165b207b5a2a3
Problem: 'findfunc' can't return extra info for cmdline completion
(Maxim Kim).
Solution: Handle 'findfunc' return value in cmdline completion like that
of "customlist" functions (zeertzjq).
fixes: vim/vim#20155closes: vim/vim#2015858124789aa
Problem: Internal progress messages use the "nvim" source (since
ff68fd6b), plugins shouldn't be allowed to set the progress
message source to "nvim". The message ID used for internal
progress messages is not identifiable as such.
Solution: Disallow setting opts->source to "nvim" with nvim_echo().
Refactor msg_progress() and callees to bypass nvim_echo().
Prepend message id for internal progress messages with "nvim.".
Problem: Entering the pager fails if <ESC> is remapped to :fclose by user.
Solution: Avoid executing mappings with nvim_feedkeys() that closes expanded cmdline.
Problem: Completion with i_CTRL-X_CTRL-V doesn't use dict from cmdline
"customlist" completion.
Solution: Include abbr/kind/menu/info in the completion items
(zeertzjq).
closes: vim/vim#201392bfddbea47
Problem: Info popup isn't removed when selecting an item that doesn't
have "info" in cmdline completion, which is inconsistent with
Insert mode behavior.
Solution: Set pum_call_update_screen in cmdline mode (zeertzjq).
closes: vim/vim#201283bfffcc290
Nvim already behaves correctly. Add a screen test as there are none.
Problem:
This test would sometimes fail to match lines starting with `.` (indicating throttling) due to a race condition, likely because throttling completed before the test could properly assert.
Solution:
I 6x'd the amount of test data we were pushing into `nvim` in an attempt to trigger throttling consistently.
I don't _love_ this solution as it is still non-deterministic and might not hold up over time.
A good solution would be: create a deterministic way to pause neovim in a functional test, assert on the temporarily throttle state, then unpause neovim. However, it's likely this is not possible today and will take too much effort.
Before test time (30000 lines): ~0.40sec/run
After test time (150000 lines): ~1.7sec/run
This increases test runtime, but if it removes flakes I think it's worth it.
Problem:
The fallback that tokenizes `eap->arg` by unescaped whitespace (when the
parser doesn't pre-split via `EX_EXPAND` etc.) lives in `nlua_do_ucmd`,
so only user-command callbacks got `eap.fargs`. Builtin commands routed
through `nlua_call_excmd` have to re-parse the args themselves
(e.g. `M.ex_lsp`).
Solution:
- Move the tokenization into `nlua_push_eap` so every Lua handler sees
`eap.fargs`. Keep only the `EX_NOSPC` override in `nlua_do_ucmd` (the
`nargs=1`/`?` case which is genuinely user-command-specific).
- Drop the re-parse in `M.ex_lsp`.
Problem:
Similar to clearmatches(), it's always necessary to provide a fallback
that allows the user to do a "global reset" when something goes wrong.
Solution:
vim.img.del(math.huge) clears all images.
Use kitty's d=A command to clear all placements in a single
escape sequence rather than N individual deletes, also freeing stored
image data not referenced by the scrollback buffer.
Problem:
`:tselect` and `z=` (spell suggest) have their own bespoke select menus.
Solution:
- Delegate to `vim.ui.select` instead.
- Bonus:
- `:tselect` gains mouse support. `print_tag_list` didn't suport mouseclick.
This causes some minor regressions, which are not blockers:
- `z=` no longer draws the list right-left if 'rightleft' is set.
- TODO: can/should `vim.ui.select` / `vim.fn.inputlist()` handle that?
- `:tselect`
- No "column" headings (`# pri kind tag file`).
- No highlighting: (HLF_T: tag name, HLF_D: file, HLF_CM: extra fields).
- TODO: can `vim.ui.select()` support highlighted chunks (`[[text, hl_id], ...]`) ?

Spell decorations from other lines aren't relevant to the current line.
Also, decor_redraw_col() can only go forward, while spell navigation
needs to go both forward and backward.
Problem:
Cannot remove a `@conceal` highlight when defined in highlights.scm.
Solution:
Support a `@noconceal` highlight that works similarly to `@nospell` where it
overrides the conceal set on the range to remove it. Additionally, can
set the conceal metadata field to false for the same behavior.
Problem:
On Windows, path separators may become inconsistent for various reasons,
which makes normalization quite painful.
Solution:
Normalize paths to `/` at the entry boundaries and always use it
internally, converting back only in rare cases where `\` is really
needed (e.g. cmd.exe/bat scripts?).
This is the first commit in a series of incremental steps.
Note:
* some funcs won't respect shellslash. e.g. `expand/fnamemodify`
* some funcs still respect shellslash, but will be updated in a follow
PR. e.g. `ex_pwd/f_chdir/f_getcwd`
* uv's built-in funcs always return `\`. e.g. `uv.cwd/uv.exepath`

Problem: `set all&` resets option values directly and leaves UI-derived state stale for `guicursor`, `laststatus`, and `showtabline`.
Solution: Repair some of the stale UI state in the bulk reset path by reparsing `guicursor`, refreshing statusline state, and recomputing tabline/window rows.
Problem: A vim.ui_attach() callback that redraws to show a 'verbose'
regex message during 'incsearch' results in recusive redrawing.
Solution: Check that curwin was redrawn instead of just any window when
determining if 'incsearch' highlighting was cleared.
vim-patch:9.2.0374: c_CTRL-{G,T} does not handle offset
Problem: c_CTRL-{G,T} does not handle offset, when cycling between
matches
Solution: Refactor parsing logic into parse_search_pattern_offset() and
handle offsets, note: highlighting does not handle offsets
yet (Barrett Ruth).
fixes: vim/vim#19991closes: vim/vim#19998c62342e5cf
Problem: The "Scanning:" completion, bufwrite, and indent (there may be
more) messages which indicate progress can use the "progress" kind
for their msg_show event. Indent message does not have a kind.
Solution: Emit these messages with the "progress" kind. Set the message id
to the replaced kind so that a UI knows to replace it (and to provide
a migration path in case a UI was distinguishing these messages for
whatever reason).
Problem: Invalid check for non-typed key to dismiss expanded cmdline.
Unable to delay the timer that removes a message from the msg
window.
Solution: Check for empty string instead of nil to determine whether a
key is typed.
Restart the timer if it expires while the user is in the msg
window. Allow entering the msg window with a mouse click.
Problem: After closing a tabpage while the msg window is showing a
message, it is hidden while the msg window still contains a
message.
Solution: Unhide the msg window after entering a tabpage and it still
contains a message.

Problem:
- Unable to "pin" a window to prevent closing without specifically
being targeted.
- :fclose closes hidden windows (even before visible windows).
Solution:
- Add 'winpinned' window-local option. When set, window is skipped by
:fclose and :only. Pin the ui2 cmdline window (which should always be
visible), so that it is not closed by :only/fclose.
- Skip over hidden (and pinned) windows with :fclose.

Problem:
win_line() falls into infinite loop when a diff window has top filler
above its first visible buffer line, that first visible buffer line is a
closed fold, and the folded line uses normal non-empty foldtext.
Solution:
Allow flushing pending diff filler rows even when the underlying buffer
line is folded with foldtext.

Problem: - Paging keys in the dialog window consume input when the user
may not expect it. The dismissable title hint intended to
mitigate that results in having to press Escape twice to
abandon the prompt.
- Mimicked "msgsep" float border is taking up unnecessary
space when window takes up the entire screen.
Solution: - Use (conventional, albeit less convenient) keys intended
for scrolling to page the dialog window:
<(Mousewheel/Page)Up/Down>, <Home/End>.
- Only set the float top border when separation is actually
necessary, i.e. window does not reach the first row.
Problem: When closing floating windows to close a tabpage, if the current
buffer will unload, buffers contained in those floating windows
will too (unexpectedly).
Solution: Don't pass along "free_buf" argument; check 'bufhidden' for
the buffer in the to be closed float.
Replace the busted-based Lua test runner with a repo-local harness.
The new harness runs spec files directly under `nvim -ll`, ships its own
reporter and lightweight `luassert` shim, and keeps the helper/preload
flow used by the functional and unit test suites.
Keep the file boundary model shallow and busted-like by restoring `_G`,
`package.loaded`, `package.preload`, `arg`, and the process environment
between files, without carrying extra reset APIs or custom assertion
machinery.
Update the build and test entrypoints to use the new runner, add
black-box coverage for the harness itself, and drop the bundled
busted/luacheck dependency path.

Problem: Wrong cursor position when entering command line window
Solution: Add check_cursor() command to verify the cursor position
(Hirohito Higashi).
When opening the command-line window with CTRL-F after typing a command
that fills the screen width, the cursor was placed past the end of the
line. Add check_cursor() after setting State to MODE_NORMAL so the
cursor is adjusted to the last character.
Also fix the cmdwin prefix character (e.g. ':') being drawn on wrapped
continuation rows. Draw an empty space instead so that the text
alignment is preserved.

Problem: The cursor shape is changed to indicate when it is behind an
unfocused floating window (since a2b92a5e). This behavior
cannot be controlled by a floating window that doesn't want
to dim the cursor.
Solution: Assign a zindex-offset of 50 to the zindex of the current
window. To not dim the cursor when creating a floating window
on top of the current window one can assign the zindex
accordingly.
Problem: Attempting to emit cmdline_block event with NULL cmdbuff after
<C-\><C-N> in Ex-mode.
Solution: Don't emit cmdline_block event when cmdbuff is NULL.
Problem: win_linetabsize() includes wrap overhead from 'linebreak'
based on current window width, but the result sizes the window,
causing a feedback loop.
Solution: Temporarily set w_view_width to Columns before measuring.
Problem: When the 'ruler' is in the last line of the screen, it takes
local highlight definitions of the current window, tripping an
assert (since c1648cf8).
Solution: Don't use window-local highlight definitions when the ruler is
not part of a statusline.

Problem: pum_col goes negative when item width + border exceeds screen.
Solution: account for border_width in pum_compute_horizontal_placement()
instead of adjusting pum_col after the fact
Problem: When emitting a msg_show event with the "empty" kind,
there may still be messages waiting to be emitted, which
are then dropped as a result of recursion protection.
Solution: Flush messages before emitting "empty" message show.
