Vim problem
Can someone explain me why sometimes the cursor can not be moved to needed position?
for example:
mysql -u root db -sBe "ALTER TABLE [cursor]$i ENGINE=$ENGINE"; echo -e "${GG}OK${BB}";

In this line I can not go to position after $i, why?
This is not first time I see such issue.
"INSERT" pressed Smilie
