patch 9.2.0393: MS-Windows: link error with XPM support on UCRT64
Problem: MS-Windows: link error with XPM support on UCRT64
Solution: Make_cyg_ming.mak: allow XPM to point to system layout with
X11/ headers (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
When XPM is set to a system prefix such as /msys64/ucrt64 (where xpm.h
lives in include/X11/), the existing -I flags miss the header. Add
-I $(XPM)/include/X11 so both the bundled layout (xpm/include/xpm.h)
and the system layout (include/X11/xpm.h) work.

patch 9.2.0389: DECRQM still leaves stray "pp" on Apple Terminal.app
Problem: DECRQM was still sent to Apple Terminal.app before its DA2
reply was processed, leaving a literal "pp" on screen.
may_req_decrqm() was called from vim_main2()
right after may_req_termresponse(), at which point
term_props[TPR_DECRQM].tpr_status was still TPR_UNKNOWN, so
the `!= TPR_NO` guard let the request through (after v9.2.0387)
Solution: Send DECRQM from handle_version_response() once
term_props[TPR_DECRQM].tpr_status == TPR_YES, the same
pattern already used for t_RS (TPR_CURSOR_STYLE) and t_RC
(TPR_CURSOR_BLINK), which deliberately wait for the DA2
reply to avoid the same echo-on-screen issue on Apple
Terminal.app and Gnome terminal. Drop the now-unused
may_req_decrqm() helper and its call site in vim_main2()
(Hirohito Higashi).

patch 9.2.0387: DECRQM request may leave stray chars in terminal
Problem: Sending DECRQM from handle_version_response() caused DECRPM
responses to arrive during user input processing, leaving
bytes in typebuf when clear_showcmd() ran. This made
visual-mode showcmd (e.g. "7" line count after V<C-D><C-D>)
intermittently disappear, failing many screendump tests on CI.
Solution: Move DECRQM request out of handle_version_response() and send
it at startup via may_req_decrqm(), following the existing
may_req_termresponse() and may_req_bg_color() pattern.
Add TPR_DECRQM property set per terminal from the DA2 reply,
and route DECRQM sends through a may_req_decrqm() helper using
the termrequest_T pattern, skipping terminals known to
mishandle it (Foxe Chen, Hirohito Higashi).

patch 9.2.0384: stale Insstart after <Cmd> cursor move breaks undo
Problem: A <Cmd> command executed from Insert mode can sync undo and
move the cursor before the next edit. stop_arrow() saved the
new cursor line for undo, but left Insstart at the previous
insertion point. A line-start backspace could then delete
lines above the saved line without saving the joined range,
leaving a pending undo entry whose bottom resolved above
its top and raising E340.

patch 9.2.0378: Using int as bool type in win_T struct
Problem: Several win_T fields are declared as "int" or "char" but are

integer types obscure the boolean intent and are wider than
needed.
Solution: Change the following win_T members to bool (stdbool.h) and

The following conversions have been done:
- int -> bool (10 members):

w_popup_fixed, w_border_highlight_isset, w_cline_folded,
w_redr_status, w_arg_idx_invalid, w_has_scrollbar
- char -> bool (4 members):
w_topline_was_set, w_ru_empty, w_fold_manual, w_foldinvalid
No existing code compares these members against TRUE/FALSE explicitly or
uses ++/-- / bitwise ops on them, so only plain assignments are
affected.
Excluded:
- w_locked (recursion counter with ++/--),
- w_want_scrollbar (may hold -1 from dict_get_bool),
- w_winbar_height (used in arithmetic and exposed as number via
getwininfo()).

replace it with an explicit save/restore.

Problem: using int as bool
Solution: refactor: use bool type for internal flags in buf_T
(Hirohito Higashi)
Change the type of 23 internal state flag fields in buf_T from int
to bool for improved type clarity and code readability.
These fields are pure boolean flags that are never accessed via the
option system's varp (which uses *(int *)varp = value), never compared
with int fields holding non-0/1 values, and never use tristate values.
All TRUE/FALSE assignments to these fields have been updated to
true/false accordingly. The type of temporary save variables
(e.g. help_save in tag.c) has also been adjusted to bool.
Option value fields (b_p_XXX) are kept as int because they are
accessed via the option system and some use tristate (-1) semantics.
Fields compared with int option values (b_start_eof, b_start_eol,
b_start_bomb) are also kept as int to preserve comparison integrity.

Solution: block Windows driver letter paths (Yasuhiro Matsumoto)
The path traversal check in vimball#Vimball() did not reject file
names starting with a Windows drive letter (e.g. "C:/foo"). Backslashes
are normalized to forward slashes earlier, so UNC paths are caught by
the leading-slash check, but absolute drive-letter paths slipped

runtime(bitbake): support forward-slashes in bitbake varflags
Enable syntax highlighting for forward-slashes in Bitbake variables with
varflags. Bitbake allows for forward-slashes in both the variable name
and their potential varflags. E.g. the following should match:
runtime(zip): also block single leading slash and absolute paths in Extract
zip#Write(): the Windows path check did not match a single leading
slash (/path), which resolves to the current drive root on Windows.
Simplify the regex to match any leading slash or backslash.
zip#Extract(): add absolute path checks for both Unix and Windows,
matching the existing checks in zip#Write().

Problem: cannot style non-current window separator
Solution: Add the VertSplitNC highlighting group
(Hirohito Higashi).
Add VertSplitNC highlight group for vertical separators of non-current
windows, similar to StatusLine/StatusLineNC distinction. The separator
adjacent to the current window uses VertSplit, others use VertSplitNC.
Default: linked to VertSplit.
At the current window's status line rows, the separator cell is drawn as
a space with the StatusLine highlight so it blends into the status line
without a stray fillchar glyph.
Also:
- :redrawstatus[!] now also redraws vertical separators.
- statusline height changes trigger vsep redraw.

Problem: Wrong cursor position when entering command line window
Solution: Add check_cursor() command to verify the cursor position

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

patch 9.2.0338: Cannot handle mouseclicks in the tabline
Problem: Cannot handle mouseclicks in the tabline
Solution: Support %[FuncName] click regions in 'tabline', add "area" key
to the click info dict (Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
The previous implementation resolved and stored click regions only for
per-window statuslines; the tabline path in win_redr_custom() (wp==NULL)
parsed %[FuncName] but discarded the regions, and tabline clicks were
dispatched via TabPageIdxs[] which didn't know about them.
Add a global tabline_stl_click array populated from the tabline path,
refactor stl_click_handler() to take the regions directly, and dispatch
matching clicks from do_mouse() before falling through to tab selection.
The winid entry in the callback dict is 0 for tabline clicks.

patch 9.2.0332: popup: still opacity rendering issues
Problem: popup: still opacity rendering issues
Solution: Fix remaining issues, see below
(Yasuhiro Matsumoto).
This PR fixes the following issues:
- Padding blend hole at wide char boundary: when a padding cell overlaps
the second half of a wide character, the right half's attr value is
unreliable. Use the left half's saved attr for blending instead.
- Wide char background split at popup boundary: when a wide character in
an upper popup straddles the edge of a lower opacity popup, both
halves got different background colors. Since terminals cannot render
different left/right background colors for a wide character, detect
the lower popup with popup_is_over_opacity() and use the non-popup
side's underlying attr for both halves.
- Wrong blend color with cterm-only highlights under 'termguicolors':
when a popup highlight has ctermbg but no guibg, bg_rgb is set to
CTERMCOLOR (not INVALCOLOR). hl_blend_attr() used this value as a real
RGB color, producing gray instead of the intended color. Use
COLOR_INVALID() to detect both INVALCOLOR and CTERMCOLOR, and fall back
to converting the cterm color number to RGB.

patch 9.2.0326: runtime(tar): but with dotted path
Problem: runtime(tar): but with dotted path
Solution: Do not strip everything after the first dot
(Aaron Burrow)
tar#Extract was getting the extensionless basename by
stripping away everything starting with the leftmost
dot. So if a directory had a dot or the file had an
'extra' dot then the code did the wrong thing. For
example, if it was given:
/tmp/foo.bar/baz.tar.gz
Then it would treat /tmp/foo as the extensionless
basename, but it actually should have grabbed:
/tmp/foo.bar/baz
This patch fixes the issue by instead looking at the
rightmost dot(s).
This bug was discovered by ChatGPT 5.4. I wrote the
patch and tested vim.
