Problem:
The `textDocument/documentLink` handler resolves the confirmation buffer
from the request URI and checks it for `nil`, then reads lines from
buffer `0`. When the confirmation buffer is not current, links are
computed from unrelated text and returned against the confirmation
buffer's line numbers, producing missing or misplaced links.
Solution:
Read lines from the resolved `bufnr`.

Problems:
- Slow shell check measures time in nanoseconds, but reports seconds.
- `kdch1` check incorrectly tests `kbs_entry` instead.
- curl version is passed as an advice, so it is never reported.
Solutions:
- Scale the elapsed time to seconds before reporting.
- Test `kdch1_entry` for `kdch1` check.
- Format curl warning with `string.format()`.

Problem:
With follow-mode ("q="), an 'operatorfunc' that only moves the cursor
does not cascade.
Solution:
Update the `effect` condition to include cursor-moves if follow-mode is
active.
Problem:
With mcursors and 'autocomplete', a non-literal key (`<BS>`) during an
active completion attempts to insert-cascade, which attempts a nested
`edit()`, which refuses with E565.
Solution:
Defer the flush while completion is active; the pending keys will be
handled later.
Problem:
An atom queued in buffer A cascades on B's cursors if the mapping ends
in B ("nnoremap X x:bnext<CR>").
Solution:
Check the atom's origin buffer (`CmdAtom.origin.buf`).
Note: This does not preclude mappings etc from doing work in temporary
throwaway buffers, as long as they return to the origin buffer.
Problem:
`vim.version.intersect()` returns tables with `VersionRange` (method
table) as their metatable. Although the calculated bounds are correct,
the results do not expose `VersionRange` methods.
Solution:
Construct intersection tables with `range_mt`, matching
`vim.version.range()`. Add assertions covering method access and
repeated intersection.
Problem:
`compute_hash()` reconstructs buffer contents with `fileformat` set to
`mac` using CRLF (`dos`) line endings. The resulting hash does not match
the file's bytes.
Solution:
Define the line ending for every supported file format. Use that mapping
when reconstructing buffer contents for hashing.
Problem:
When disabling, the loader list is traversed forwards while entries are
removed. As a result, some entries are skipped and remain active. Thus,
disabling `vim.loader` restores `_G.loadfile`, but does not fully
restore the original package loader chain.
Solution:
Traverse `package.loaders` in reverse when removing cached loaders.
Capture the original `package.loaders` list in the test, and assert that
the list is restored properly.
Problem:
If an edit cascades to cursor(s) that happen to be within a closed fold,
the edit acts on the fold itself (`:h fold-behavior`). E.g. "dd" deletes
the entire fold, not the cursor's line within the fold.
Solution:
Check `mc_replaying()` in `hasAnyFolding()`, so folds are ignored during
a multicursor cascade. This means multicursor always replays relative to
text *within* the fold.
Problem:
Fallback pynvim version lookup is broken since Vimscript-to-Lua rewrite.
- `vim.fs.basename()` returns the module filename instead of the
directory needed to discover adjacent metadata. This produces an
empty metadata list, hiding the remaining issues.
- `table.sort()` requires a Boolean comparator, while
`vim.version.cmp()` returns a number.
- `table.sort()` sorts in place and returns no value, so assigning its
result discards the metadata list.
Solution:
- Use `vim.fs.dirname()` to discover adjacent package metadata.
- Use `vim.version.gt()` as the descending Boolean comparator.
- Sort the metadata list in place.
This restores fallback version detection when `neovim.VERSION` is
unavailable.
Problem:
Coordinates-to-position conversion for the finish column in
`vim.hl.range()` checks the start column. This results in an incorrect
finish column when only one of the column coordinates is `vim.v.maxcol`.
Solution:
Check the finish column when converting the finish position. Update the
existing screen test so that a `vim.v.maxcol` finish highlights the
end-of-line marker, matching the existing `-1` behavior.
Nvim implementation of ":TOhtml" fails on test_tohtml.vim
because they compare with the sample test files.
Customizing the sample files to pass Vim's test is maintenance burden.
Nvim has lua functional tests to skip Vim's tests.
Nvim's test Makefile computes NEW_TESTS, NEW_TESTS_RES, unlike Vim.
Likely N/A.
Following runtime/ files are N/A after Lua rewrite.

- runtime/syntax/2html.vim

Problem:
New clang-tidy checks readability-trailing-comma and
readability-redundant-parentheses fire across the codebase.
Solution:
Disable readability-trailing-comma and readability-redundant-parentheses
checks in the clang-tidy configuration.
Problem: NFA regexp matching is slower than necessary because addstate()
tracks the recursion depth in a static variable.
Solution: Pass the recursion depth as a function parameter so it stays in a
register instead of being spilled to memory around every recursive
call (Julien Voisin).
addstate() is called very frequently and recursively. Storing the depth
counter in a static variable forces the compiler to reload and store it in
memory around each recursive call, since it cannot prove the recursion does
not modify it. Passing it as a parameter keeps it in a register and drops
the increment/decrement bookkeeping on every return path. The recursion
limit behavior is unchanged.
This reduces the instruction count of NFA matching by roughly 4% on
state-heavy patterns. Benchmarking was done with something like:
```
set re=0
let s:word = repeat('abc123 def456 ghijk_lmnop QRSTUV wxyz0 ', 4000)
for i in range(120)
let s = s:word | let s = substitute(s, '\%#=2\(\a\+\)\(\d\+\)', '\2\1', 'g')
let s = s:word | let s = substitute(s, '\%#=2\a\+\d\+', 'X', 'g')
call matchstr(s:word, '\%#=2\(\a\|\d\|_\)\{3,}')
endfor
qa!
```

Problem: The floating-point `.d` number match and the two ellipsis
matches are slow: each begins with a look-behind, which cannot
be reduced to a fixed first character, so the automatic regexp
engine selects the slower NFA backend for them.
Solution: Force the backtracking engine with \%#=1 on those three
patterns; it evaluates the look-behind far more efficiently.
Highlighting is unchanged.
Measured with :syntime over a 40000 line corpus: the three affected
rules drop from ~0.13s to ~0.008s (about -93%), which cuts the total
syntax parse cost by ~10% (1.85s to 1.65s).

Problem: With 'wildmode' set to list:full the matches are listed but the
wildmenu is not shown, although it is "full" that starts
wildmenu mode (zeertzjq).
Solution: List the matches and show the menu, as the two behaviors in
the same phase ask for. The menu is left to the phases that
ask for it, so that "list" on its own still only lists
(Hirohito Higashi).

Problem: With 'wildmode' set to list:full, matches are listed but the
first match is not completed on the first Tab press (rendcrx).
Solution: Do not suppress selection when list and full are active in

completion, comma-separated phases and noselect precedence

Problem: popup_show() from a CmdlineChanged autocommand doesn't update
the screen (Mao-Yining)
Solution: Refresh the screen when popups need redraw
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
popup_settext()/popup_show() called from a CmdlineChanged autocommand
did not refresh the screen because cmdline mode normally skips
update_screen(), so async info-popup updates only became visible after
a manual :redraw. Refresh the screen when popups need redrawing right
after the autocommand.

fix(tui): emit ui_send output atomically with the frame
Problem:
tui_ui_send() writes directly to the TTY, bypassing the output buffer.
Sequences sent via nvim_ui_send() (e.g. kitty multiple-cursors, or
visual-dot-repeat) always arrive in a separate TTY write from the frame
they were computed for. This manifests as "tearing", or e.g. in the case
of multicursor the terminal renders text with stale cursor overlays.
Solution:
- tui_ui_send(): while a frame is being assembled (pending invalid
regions or buffered output), buffer instead of writing directly.
- Out-of-frame sends (tty queries, clear-on-disable) still write
immediately.
- mcursor.lua: emit the terminal-cursor update at the end of the redraw
cycle (`on_end`, when screen positions are final) instead of
vim.schedule().
Problem: options related to ui2 (like `fillchars` with `msgsep`) do not
take effect if set during startup after enabling ui2.
Solution: explicitly check just after startup if relevant options were
changed during startup.
Problem:
Literal path comparison ignored one trailing slash for every buffer name,
including URIs. Generic URI syntax does not make a non-empty path
equivalent to the same path with a trailing slash, so distinct URI
buffers collapsed into one.
Solution:
Require equal lengths when comparing URI buffer names, while retaining
trailing-separator normalization for filesystem paths.

Problem:
`shorten_fnames()` always redraws the statusline/tabline, even if no
buffer name changed. Since b296666e a temp context-switch
(`win_execute()`, `vim._with{win=}`) restores the CWD, so every such
switch flickers the message area.
Solution:
Redraw only if `shorten_buf_fname()` actually changed a name.
Problem:
Folding range markers are overwritten while ranges are evaluated. A range ending on a row can hide another range starting there, and multiple nested ranges ending together emit only the innermost ending level.
Solution:
Track starts and the number of ends per row before emitting markers. Prefer starts on shared boundary rows and use the outermost level when nested ranges end together.

Confirming cmdwin with a UTF-8 character containing 0x80 does not complete the

Problem: YAML syntax highlighting is slow; the yamlInteger and yamlFloat
rules alone account for over half of the parsing time.
Solution: The number, null and timestamp scalar patterns begin with a
lookbehind, which stops the regexp engine from using a
first-character search, so the automatic engine selects the
much slower NFA engine. Force the backtracking engine with
\%#=1 on these patterns for a large speedup with identical
matches (Jordan).
On a 40000-line YAML file the total :syntime drops by about 30%: the
yamlFloat rule goes from 0.61s to 0.17s and yamlInteger from 0.42s to 0.31s.
The engine override is applied only to the lookbehind-anchored number rules;
forcing it on the structural plain-scalar and mapping-key patterns regresses
them badly, so those are left on the automatic engine.

Problem:
The "." example mapping at `:h edit-repeat` doesn't work well with
`nvim_feedkeys(…, 'mt', false)`.
Solution:
Use `vim.b[ev.buf].maxseq` instead of `undotree()`.
Problem:
The cmdline_hide callback causes an unnecessary cursor move to the cmdline,
before the normal redraw updates the cursor back to the current window. This
appears as "flicker" when using plugins such as matchit (legacy ":" mappings
instead of "<cmd>" mappings).
Solution:
Skip the immediate redraw for cmdline_hide events. The normal redraw
still updates the cursor after the cmdline window is hidden.
Problem:
Replaying a deleted Lua mapping, may call an arbitrary function.
RHS of a Lua mapping embeds its LuaRef (`<K_LUA><ref><CR>`). The raw
keys may outlive the ref (redobuff ".", CmdAtom `keys`). If the mapping
is deleted, replaying it either (1) dereferences a freed registry slot,
or (2) calls whatever callback reused the slot (autocmd, timer, other
mapping).
Solution:
Assign a monotonic (never recycled) id to Lua mappings and encode the
mapping keys as `<K_LUA><id><CR>`.
Note: in the case of Vimscript, a deleted function raises E117, but if
the function is redefined with the same name, the mapping will find it.
Alternatives?:
- Globally ensure `LuaRef` ids are not recycled.
- Problem: could exhaust `int` in a long-lived Nvim session? Also,
difficult to impl bc the "recycling" is done by `luaL_ref` itself.
ref: 5ac2e47acc
Problem:
An operator completed by a Lua `:omap` textobject emits
`CmdAtom.type="mapping"` (lhs-only, no keys) instead of `type="operator"`.
Analysis:
`atom_redo_set()` declined K_LUA, though the prepped redo
("op" + K_LUA + id + CR) is exactly what "." replays. A no-edit "g@"
emits nothing at all.
Solution:
- `atom_redo_set`: don't decline K_LUA; the redo route now captures the
operator atom.
- `atom_capture_cmd`: don't early-return if the frame has prepped redo.
- op_function(): save/restore redobuff when invoking 'operatorfunc',
like `call_user_func()` does for Vimscript. (Else the Lua callback
may clobber the prepped "g@" redo / dot-repeat.)
fix#41482
TODO:
- async Lua (timer/vim.schedule) can still clobber the pending dot-repeat...
Problem:
If a snippet does not have a placeholder, we use insert mode instead of
select mode. From here <Esc> leaves the session and highlight active.
Solution:
Cancel the session on <Esc>.
Problem:
0c091cedc2 fixed the "immediate exit" but the 2s `nvim_get_proc()`
check still fails on slow (ASAN) CI.
Solution:
Check the pid after the `screen:expect`. Anyway, `assert_nolog` is the
"meaningful" part of the test since 0c091cedc2.
Problem: `gettext` and `libiconv` are hosted on a single FTP server
which can be flaky. Since this impacts CI, we mirror them at
neovim/deps, but that creates maintainer friction.
Solution: Since the Zig build is tied to the upstream server anyway (via
allyourcodebase/libiconv) and most other platforms do not build the
bundled versions, just use the upstream server for CMake as well.
