patch 9.1.0097: 'breakindent' behaves inconsistently with 'list' and splits Commit: https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/efabd7c8d4f733350364356b8950a11f013aec49 Author: zeertzjq <zeertzjq@outlook.com> Date: Sun Feb 11 17:16:19 2024 +0100 patch 9.1.0097: 'breakindent' behaves inconsistently with 'list' and splits Problem: 'breakindent' behaves inconsistently with 'list' and splits. Solution: Use 'listchars' from the correct window and handle caching properly. Move cheaper comparisons to the top.
