Search the existing open and closed issues. Maybe the bug was already reported?
Mention your terminal (if you use the terminal version), vim version, font used. Also terminal related things such as tmux/screen, $TERM, or similar things should be mentioned
Describe your issue properly. If you spend 30 seconds throwing out a sloppy report, do expect that others will spend exactly the same amount on trying to resolve it.
Be polite. You are asking highly competent software developers for help, for free, so you might want to avoid treating them as if they were a commodity or at your free disposal.
