Thanks for clarification!
I tested it with Bash script:
chars=$(wc -m mylog|cut -d ' ' -f1)
lines=$(wc -l mylog|cut -d ' ' -f1)
let chars="$chars - $lines"
echo $chars
and got the same number as given by vim
:%s/.//gn
(Which was place from what I got confused.)
Hopefully this bug description will help to others.
