There's something odd that I observed over the years with Vim...

When inserting a new empty line (with 'O') or pasting the contents
of a copy/delete operation (with 'P') there's (for a short moment)
first an 'O' and a 'P' respectively seen on the target line before
the desired text contents are placed there.

(That happens occasionally and I cannot force reproduction of this
effect).

It's not a problem, just a slight distraction, but I thought I ask
(out of curiosity) whether someone has an idea what could be the
reason for that effect.

Just tried it on my Linux system, didn’t see any problem.

Yes, as said, it's not reproducible, but it also happens not rarely;
if I move around in a text and do some operations I eventually get
such an effect.

(I seem to remember you're primarily an Emacs user, so probably a
regular Vim user might more likely have that effect observed.)
