[Bug 1380083] [NEW] Vim command mode abreviations and insert mode maps are broken

 

Public bug reported:

1) lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release:	14.04

2) apt-cache policy vim-gtk
vim-gtk:
  Installed: 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3
  Candidate: 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 2:7.4.052-1ubuntu3 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/universe amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

3) In your .vimrc or in a vim editing session, try adding the following:

cab Q q
inoremap <C-z> <C-g>u<C-u>

The first should make (and does in non-14.04 versions of vim) the typo command ':Q' work like the intended ':q'.
The second should create a CTRL-z alias for undo while in insert mode.

4) Neither work. I have many other cab and imap statements in my .vimrc,
it's not specific to these examples. Only normal mode maps work.
