That's very good--that should give us a starting point that other
people can use to verify and/or diagnose this problem.  I'm losing
track of exactly what behavior you're seeing, though.  After
creating a ~/.vimrc file containing only "set spell spelllang=en",
what steps do you take and what do you observe?  Give enough detail
that anyone could unambiguously repeat your steps.  If you're
opening a file that contains spelling errors that aren't being
highlighted as you expect, include the contents of that file here,
or at least some small part of it that exhibits the problem.

Ok.

1) Create (or use existing) 2 files with spelling errors

2) Start vim (or gvim) with no arguments. Start typing words which does not exist, you'll confirm that the words get highlighted by the spell checker

3) Use ':e' to edit one of the files in step1. The bug is here. The words with spelling mistakes are NOT highlighted.

4) Use ':e' again to edit the other file of step1. The words with spelling mistakes are highlighted as they should.
