Macvim Dictation Issue on Catalina #987
Description
Hello, I just upgraded to MacOs Catalina and I'm having some issues using the dictation on Macvim.
I'm using the 8.1.2234 Macvim version and when I start to dictate, after some lines, Macvim automatically deletes the previous lines and what I get in the end are the last sentences. This is my first attempt of using dictation in Macvim so I can't tell if before MacOs Catalina the issue was still there.

@ozzop Thank you for your issue,
I haven't tried the dictation in MacVim yet and I think it's a good time to try it :)
Please tell us a little more details about your experience to reproduce the issue.
In which language do you dictate?
Do you know any specific words or phrases which trigger incorrect MacVim's behaviour?
Have you've installed MacVim from GitHub, Homebrew or MacPorts?
Have you tried to dictate in MacVim in terminal (
mvim -v/gvim -v)?Have you tried to turn off plugins? (
mvim --clean/gvim --clean/vim --clean)ychin commentedon Nov 14, 2019
@ozzop Can you be a little specific about what lines you were saying? Since it's likely you may have triggered some keywords. Are you only using Dictation or Voice Control (which is new in Catalina) too?

Also another dictation issue I found that may or may not be related: #87

The issue still persist with r177, MacVim 9.0.1677, under macOS Ventura (13.5.2).
The first few words when dictation seem OK, then Vim acts up and does all kinds of weird things.

That's unfortunate. I never got around to addressing this. I hate to punt but with macOS 14 coming out (and it has some changes to how text input works) so let me install it when it comes out soon and play around with it to see. It should "just work". :(
