No.

Maybe, hard to say. The best you can do is to provide a minimal example
to reproduce the problem (e.g. type 'make clean emacs' in Evil's source
directory to start a fresh Emacs with nothing loaded but Evil and then
some key-sequence to demonstrate the problem). And do not forget to tell
us the Emacs version, Evil version, whether you use Evil in X or in
terminal and so on.
