Description
As described in [this answer on Apple Stack Exchange, MacVim 7.4-77 (and other builds) do not seem to properly handle pauses in OS X dictation. This isn't a Vim issue, as Vim 7.4.889 on the same machine Does The Right Thing™.
For example, with MacVim:
I pause hereAnd dictation doesn't add a space.
but Vim itself works fine:
I pause here and dictation does add a space.
It's unclear why MacVim and Vim behave so differently in this regard. Expected behavior would be for MacVim to handle pauses in dictation without creating an improperly-formatted new sentence.
