What does CTRL+L do? I'm not seeing anything and couldn't find it on a 
Vim cheat sheet.


What I did see was kind of interesting:

I took your string from pastebin:

 > abcdefg "°C" 1234567890

and at the bottom, where the cursor position is indicated, I get 1,10 at 
the ° symbol, but afterwards it gets screwy:

1,12-11
1,13-12
...

Removing the ° symbol makes the column info display as expected (no 
backwards range).


Also, when changing from INSERT to VISUAL modes, the cursor moves 
backwards one character.

Seems like a vim bug to me, but I don't use it so am likely using it wrong.
