VI behavior strange in FC3

[Gavin Li]

Hi,

I use VI to edit C code, but most (>90%) chance it breaks lines when I input
characters. Which config file do I have to change or it is a bug?
This is a sample of my code. I have no problem in RedHat7.3
/*

 * vi: set cindent sw=4 ts=4 tw=4 :syntax on :
 */
#include
<stdio.h>
#include
<string.h>
int
main(int
        argc,
        char
        *argv)
{
    printf("hello
            world!\n");
    for
        (i=0;i<10;i++)
            {
                printf("i=%d\n",
                        i);
                return
                    0;
            }
    return
        0;
}

You are setting your text width to only four characters per line. 
( tw = 4 )

I'd say it's the tw=4 in the header of the file that's causing you the
problem.  It sets the text width to 4 so the lines won't be very long :-)

Did you pick the header up from elsewhere or did you construct it yourself ?
