Bug Description
Ubuntu Trusty 64 bit system built from the mini.iso with Openbox as the WM and sole DE as well. Vim version 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3. Recently, search has started failing about half the time. In Evim, if I search for "some string that IS there somewhere" I'll get the following message:
E486: Pattern not found: \\/\csome string that IS there somewhere
as if it had prepended some stuff to what I what I wanted to search for and searched for that instead. Whenever it does this it is always the same string
that gets prepended:
\\/\c
Seems the longer the string the more likely it is to happen.
