"c{motion}" temporary cancels 'linebreak' option for current line

[Umang Varma]

When editing long text using the c command, vim seems to temporarily disable the "linebreak" option. This can be very annoying when editing long lines of text.

A thorough discussion of this bug can be found in the Debian BTS 774492 (http://bugs.debian.org/774492)

I am encountering this bug on Ubuntu 15.04 running vim 2:7.4.488-3ubuntu2.

Debian fixed this issue by backporting patch 7.4.576 into the vim package 2:7.4.488-7. It would be great if Ubuntu could backport/sync.
