    Problem Text
    This was refused because it is a duplicate. Use TIN4C.00016 instead.

    Our vi utility is working correctly according to P1003.2b/D11. The
    test involves a text buffer in character mode because a buffer copied
    to by a "y" command "shall be in the mode specified by the motion
    command" (line 4348 of P1003.2b section 5.35.7.2.82) and when "/pen"
    is used in the context of this test, "the region of text ... shall
    be be (sic) in character mode" (lines 3766-3768 of P1003.2b section
    5.35.7.2.34).

    Since the text buffer is in character mode and the buffer is the
    unnamed buffer, the current column shall be "set to the last column on
    which any portion of the last character from the buffer is displayed"
    (lines 4180-4181 of P1003.2b section 5.35.7.2.68).

    According to line 4172 of P1003.2b section 5.35.7.2.68, the current
    line of the edit buffer is unchanged.

    Although this behavior seems contrary to historical practice, the
    standard clearly states the current line is not changed. Since our vi
    utility complies with P1003.2b/D11, we believe a temporary
    interpretation should be granted.
