patch 9.2.0208: MS-Windows: excessive scroll-behaviour with go+=!
Problem: MS-Windows: excessive scroll-behaviour with go+=! after
switching to ConPTY as default (after v9.2.0048).
Solution: Use tl_cursor_pos to determine the number of lines to scroll
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
Since patch 9.2.0048 (71cc1b12) made ConPTY the default on Windows 11,
running :!cmd with guioptions+=! scrolls up the entire window height
instead of only the output lines.
ConPTY damages all terminal rows on initialization even when they are
empty, which causes tl_dirty_row_end to equal Rows. The scroll-up loop
in update_system_term() then scrolls the full screen because
(Rows - tl_toprow) < tl_dirty_row_end is always true until tl_toprow
reaches 0.
Use the cursor position instead of tl_dirty_row_end for the scroll
calculation, since it reflects where actual content has been written.
The scroll bug only occurs with ConPTY. With winpty the terminal
finishes too quickly for the timer-based screen check to work.

patch 9.2.0196: textprop: negative IDs and can cause a crash
Problem: textprop: negative IDs and can cause a crash without "text"
(Paul Ollis)
Solution: Strictly reserve negative IDs for virtual text, ignore "id"
when "text" is provided in prop_add() (Hirohito Higashi).
When prop_add() was called with a negative id and no "text", the
property was stored with a negative tp_id. A subsequent call to
prop_list() or screen redraw would then treat it as a virtual text
property and dereference b_textprop_text.ga_data, which is NULL when
no virtual text properties exist.
Negative ids are reserved for virtual text properties, so always
reject them with E1293 regardless of whether virtual text properties
exist. Also, when "text" is specified any user-provided id is now
silently ignored and an internal negative id is assigned.
Remove the now-unnecessary did_use_negative_pop_id flag and E1339.

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

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 ['']

patch 9.2.0154: if_lua: runtime error with lua 5.5
Problem: Lua 5.5 makes for-loop control variables read-only.
The path-parsing logic in if_lua.c attempts to modify the
loop variable 's', causing the script to fail during
runtime initialization (Binbin Qian)
Solution: Use a Lua capture group in gmatch() to extract the path
without the semicolon, avoiding the need to re-assign
to the loop variable.
patch 9.2.0153: No support to act as a channel server
Problem: Vim can only act as a channel client (ch_open). There is
no way for an external process to initiate a connection
to a running Vim instance using the Channel API.
Solution: Implement ch_listen() and the underlying server-side
socket logic. This allows Vim to listen on a port or
Unix domain socket. When a client connects, a new
channel is automatically created and passed to a
user-defined callback (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
patch 9.2.0151: blob_from_string() is slow for long strings
Problem: blob_from_string() is slow for long strings
Solution: Use ga_grow() to allocate memory once, perform a bulk copy
with mch_memmove() then translate NL to NUL in-place
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto).

patch 9.2.0150: synchronized terminal update may cause display artifacts
Problem: When using synchronized terminal output, the internal
output buffer is not flushed before sending the
End Synchronized Update (ESU) sequence. This causes
redrawing artifacts.
Solution: Call out_flush() immediately before sending the ESU
sequence to ensure all pending drawing commands are
contained within the synchronized update window.
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
patch 9.2.0149: Vim9: segfault when unletting an imported variable
Problem: do_unlet_var() unconditionally calls dictitem_remove() in its
final else branch, but for imported items lp->ll_dict is NULL,
causing a segfault (Peter Kenny)
Solution: Add a NULL check and return E1260 instead.
Affects :unlet at vim9script level and inside legacy :function.
The :def case already worked (handled in vim9cmds.c).

Problem: Reading large files is slow because UTF-8 validation and

patch 9.2.0137: [security]: crash with composing char in collection range
Problem: Using a composing character as the end of a range inside a
collection may corrupt the NFA postfix stack
(Nathan Mills, after v9.1.0011)
Solution: When a character is used as the endpoint of a range, do not emit
its composing characters separately. Range handling only uses
the base codepoint.
Problem: With zsh, executing :!nohup xdg-open url >/dev/null 2>&1 &
does not launch the browser. This occurs presumably because
gvim/zsh cleans up background processes in a non-interactive
session too quickly.
Solution: Use job_start() with "stoponexit" set to an empty string.
This bypasses the shell entirely (fixing the zsh issue)
and ensures the browser process is not killed when Vim exits.
On Linux, shellescape() is removed as job_start() in list
mode handles special characters natively.

Problem: :tab accepts a tab address range but doesn't specify this in

Solution: Add EX_RANGE and EX_ZEROR to the command specification and use
ADDR_TABS (Doug Kearns).
As command modifers are handled separately before these flags are tested
in the ex-command parser they have no effect. However, it's better to
use an accurate description and the command specification table has uses
in other areas like runtime file generation for the Vim filetype.

patch 9.2.0126: String handling can be improved
Problem: String handling can be improved
Solution: Pass string length where it is known to avoid strlen() calls,
do a few minor refactors (John Marriott).
This commit changes some calls to function `set_vim_var_string()` to pass
the string length where it is known or can be easily calculated.
In addition:
In `evalvars.c`:
* In function `set_reg_var()` turn variable `regname` into a C string
because that is how it used.
* Small cosmetics.
In `option.c`:
* Slightly refactor function `apply_optionset_autocmd()` to move some
variables closer to where they are used.
In `getchar.c`:
* Slightly refactor function `do_key_input_pre()`:
-> change call to `dict_add_string()` to `dict_add_string_len()` and
pass it the length of `buf`.
-> only call `get_vim_var_string()` once.
In `message.c`:
* Use a `string_T` to store local variable `p`.
In `normal.c`:
* Move some variables closer to where they are used.

runtime(doc): Update intro.txt about Neovim
Just to fix some phrases:
- "A Vim clone". Neovim document says that it is not a clone, but just a
fork https://neovim.io/doc/user/nvim/#nvim
- "Supports a remote GUI". Neovim supports any UI (both GUI and TUI)
that implements its UI protocol, so "a" is not correct
- "Integration with scripting languages". This is true, but it is also
true to Vim (which supports 8 scripting languages AFAIK), so this
probably doesn't need to be said in this document. Instead, what makes
Neovim unique in this "scripting languages" aspect is its first class
support for Lua.
