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

I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any
activity for some time. If this is still an issue while using a
currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which
one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately

Title:
  Misinterpretation of key sequence

Status in vim package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 13.10
  Vim:   Installed: 2:7.4.000-1ubuntu2

  Entering the commands to leave insert mode & insert a new line above
  the current one, beginning with certain letters, results in
  punctuation on the current line instead.

  To reproduce:
  Start vim, *quickly* type the keys: i<Esc>Om

  Expected result:
  New line created above the current one with the letter 'm' in it

  Actual result:
  Hyphen inserted on current line

  Also affects:
  Letters j,k,n,o
  j gives *, k gives +, m gives -, n gives ., o gives /

  Vim version: 7.4 (as installed by Ubuntu 13.10)
  Happens on my machine, my co-worker's machine, several VMs and to some (not all) of the people I asked about it on IRC. Definitely requires that the typing is done quickly. Causes me problems very frequently because I write a lot of Perl and when I go to declare a variable, I get "-y $foo" on the current line instead of "my $foo" on the previous line.
