    Test Identification POSIX.upe/vi 248, 249, 251
    Problem Summary PG4C.00041 Test fails if implementation follows POSIX 1003.2b/D11 put command cursor positioning rules.
    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 current line and column position after a p or P command
    varies according to the mode (line or character) of the buffer just put into
    the edit buffer. The correct behaviour is described in POSIX.2b draft.11
    section 5.35.7.2.68 page 234 lines 4172-4183 and section 5.35.7.2.69 page 235
    lines 4205-4211.

    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.

    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    The journal output does not match the rationale presented.

    Tests 248 and 251 are failing due to differences in ye command
    semantics not differences in put cursor positioning.

    Test 249 appears to be properly failing since the cursor is not
    positioned to the first non-blank character in the line. This is
    the position required by both 1003.2 and 1003.2b.
