I have discovered the following problem when using evil with emacs 24 (actually it is the snapshot from 2011/05/31 obtained from http://emacs.naquadah.org/): That's quite old.

When in visual mode and trying to move left with the left-arrow-key nothing happens. It only concerns the left-arrow-key, e.g the "h"-key works. And even more strange: when i first move with the "h"-key and then try the left-arrow-key it works. Can anybody reproduce this kind of behavior?

Yes, I can. In char-wise visual-state `left-char' won't move before the column visual-state was entered (unless you `evil-backward-char' before it). And by 2<left> you can shift where the selection will start, this should not happen. And there's even more, probably related: `left-char` and `right-char` in line-wise visual-state behave erratically (jumping beetween bol and eol and others, can't point at it). Michael
