Hi Andy,
Your script with "BufWinEnter" replacing "BufReadPost" works in insert
mode when switching between buffers is done using <C-\><C-O>:bp<CR>.
It does not work using the menus (without Christian's patch).
If CTRL-L is used to quit insert mode, it no longer works at all,
cursor on column 1 (you are right).

So, 2 solutions:
1) Keep your (bugged) script and work in insert mode only
2) Keep the original vimrc_example.vim with "BufReadPost" replaced
with "BufWinEnter". It works in normal mode and almost works in insert
mode. I still have to understand why the vimrc_example's BufWinEnter
autocmd works in normal mode when switching between buffers when the
similar in your script does not.

Best regards
Jean Johner
