    Product Standard Commands and Utilities V2 (UNIX 95)
    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSC version 4.1.4
    Test Identification POSIX.upe/vi 276, 277
    Problem Summary PG4C.00042 The test does not allow POSIX 1003.2b/D11 mandated cursor positioning.
    Problem Text
    The test assertions listed test an area of POSIX.2 which does not reflect
    historical practice. The draft POISX.2b standard more closely documents
    the behaviour of historical implementation of Ex and Vi.

    Historically, the U command was never subject to the autoindent edit option.
    The correct behaviour is described in POSIX.2b draft.11 section 5.35.7.2.78
    page 238 lines 4286-4287.

    Our implementation conforms to the draft POSIX.2b standard which mandates
    this historical practice. Since this area of the specification is subject
    to change, we request a temporary interpretation allowing historical practice.
