patch 9.2.0184: MS-Windows: screen flicker with termguicolors and visualbell
Problem: When 'termguicolors' is used on MS-Windows (VTP mode), sending
CSI query sequences (like DECRQM) causes the console to
generate responses that are misinterpreted as keystrokes.
The leading ESC triggers a beep or 'visualbell' flash.
Solution: In mch_write(), discard CSI sequences when USE_VTP is active
so the console does not process queries and generate unwanted
input responses (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

runtime(doc): clarify :silent usage for system()/systemlist()
When system() or systemlist() is called without :silent from a
statusline expression, autocommand, or timer callback, the terminal
is temporarily set to cooked mode, which re-enables ECHO on the tty.
If a terminal response (e.g. DECRPM for cursor blink mode) arrives
during this window, the tty driver echoes it to the screen, leaving
stray characters that require CTRL-L to remove.
This behavior was intentionally addressed in patch 7.4.427 by
skipping cooked mode when :silent is prepended. However, the
documentation only mentioned this for system() and did not cover
systemlist() at all. The guidance to use :silent in non-interactive
contexts (statusline, autocommands, timers) was also not explicit.

patch 9.2.0168: invalid pointer casting in string_convert() arguments
Problem: invalid pointer casting in string_convert() arguments
Solution: Use a temporary local int variable (James McCoy)
string_convert()/string_convert_ext() accept an "int *lenp" parameter,
however a few call sites were taking the address of a possibly larger
type (long, size_t) and casting it as an int * when calling these
functions.
On big-endian platforms, this passes the (likely) zeroed high bytes of
the known length through to string_convert(). This indicates it received
an empty string and returns an allocated empty string rather than
converting the input. This is exhibited by test failures like
From test_blob.vim:
Found errors in Test_blob2str_multi_byte_encodings():
command line..script src/testdir/runtest.vim[636]..function RunTheTest[63]..Test_blob2str_multi_byte_encodings line 2: Expected ['Hello'] but got ['']

command line..script srctestdir/runtest.vim[636]..function RunTheTest[63]..Test_blob2str_multi_byte_encodings line 6: Expected ['Hello'] but got ['']
Instead, use a temporary local int variable as the in/out variable for
string_convert() and assign the result back to the larger typed length
variable post-conversion.

Problem: Vim could use the VisualNOS highlight group when not connected

Solution: Always highlight visual selections with Visual when not

When Vim is running with X11 support it chooses between the Visual and
VisualNOS highlight groups for a visual selection based on whether it
believes it owns the X selection. According to :help hl-VisualNOS,
VisualNOS should only be used by the X11 GUI or when using the

patch 9.2.0124: auto-format may swallow white space
Problem: With auto paragraph formatting enabled, when a user makes an
attempt to add a new word before the end of a line and with
the following space bringing the line width over 'textwidth',
the space ends up just getting swallowed by the editor.
Solution: Detect such a constellation and do not auto-format in that
case (Daniel Müller).

patch 9.2.0123: GTK: using deprecated gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data()
Problem: GTK: gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data() is deprecated since
2.44.5, causing build warnings
Solution: Replace XPM icon loading with PNG byte arrays loaded via
g_memory_input_stream_new_from_data() and
gdk_pixbuf_new_from_stream(). These APIs are available since
GLib 2.12 and gdk-pixbuf 2.14 (around 2008) so should be safe
to use today.

patch 9.2.0122: Vim still supports compiling on NeXTSTEP
Problem: Vim still supports compiling on NeXTSTEP
Solution: Drop Support (Damien Lejay)
The NeXTSTEP operating system has been obsolete for decades. The
special-case code required to support it adds unnecessary complexity,
preprocessor conditionals, and non-standard workarounds to the codebase.
This commit removes all support for NeXTSTEP, simplifying the code and
build system in several ways:
- Replaced custom configure checks for `union wait` with a standard `AC_CHECK_FUNCS` call for `waitpid`.
- Removed all conditional code that used the non-standard `union wait` for process status, relying solely on a standard `int`.
- Replaced calls to the non-standard `wait4()` function with the POSIX-standard `waitpid()`.
- Cleaned up headers (`os_unix.h`, `os_unixx.h`) to remove NeXT-specific workarounds and macros.
- Removed obsolete NeXT compilation instructions from the INSTALL file.
This change improves maintainability and makes the Unix process handling code more linear and compliant with modern POSIX standards.

patch 9.2.0119: incorrect highlight initialization in win_init()
Problem: When initializing a window in win_init(), w_hl is reset to
NULL without ensuring existing highlight overrides are

the redundant VIM_CLEAR() from win_init_empty() (Foxe Chen).

patch 9.2.0118: memory leak in w_hl when reusing a popup window
Problem: When a popup info window is reused, win_init_empty() resets
w_hl to NULL without freeing the previously allocated value,
causing a memory leak (after v9.2.0113)
Solution: Free w_hl before resetting it to NULL in win_init_empty()
using the VIM_CLEAR() macro.

$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not defined
Solution: Skip test_wayland when prerequisites are not fulfilled
patch 9.2.0115: popup: screen flickering possible during async callbacks
Problem: popup: When an async redraw is triggered, the screen may flicker
because the terminal may render the intermediate states of the
redraw.
Solution: Enable synchronized output if possible to ensure the terminal
renders the entire update at once (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

patch 9.2.0112: popup: windows flicker when updating text

redraw_win_later() to avoid triggering a full screen redraw.
Handle opacity 100 correctly. Keep "firstline" sticky when
setting options (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

patch 9.2.0104: popup: flickering on opaque popups with overlapping text
Problem: popup: flickering on opaque popups with overlapping text,
even if they are opaque (after v9.2.0016).
Solution: Prevent double redrawing by skipping background updates for
opaque popups. Revert changes to test dumps
(Javier Jaramago Fernández).
A flickering effect was introduced in commit v9.2.0016 (commit: 6c203072f) for all popups. This is a consequence of a double redraw of
the overlapping background characters. This could be expected for
transparent popups, but, it should exclude opaque ones. For a complete
fix of the flickering this commit is required in combination with fix
present in v9.2.0064 (commit: 97c5bed84b).
Additionally this commit reverts changes introduced for tests dumps for
masks in commits 6c203072f and cded5e220. These dumps were updated
preventing characters from popups to take into account the masks
specified for them. This forces the redraw of popup characters, even
when masks attempt to prevent them, leading to flickering effects. See
issues #19510 and PR: #19534.
