[Bug 793703] Re: Format string bug in shtags.pl

[Paul White]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to
review all reported bugs in a timely manner.

I'm closing this bug report as 'Invalid' as no version information was
given for either Vim or Ubuntu and as over twelve years have passed
without comment it is unlikely that an Ubuntu developer will even look
at a bug report which probably needs to be fixed upstream by a Vim
developer.


** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
