Re: Tracing Vim into a log file.

Hi

I had this strange behavior again this afternoon,

so I was editing a file, that was being modified by a java process who was writing in it.

And I don't know what happens (maybe a mousse scroll or something like that) and the whole part before the line is erased and I got : g`" instead.

 

I have been able to take a picture with my phone (they are so paranoid in my firm that I avoided to make a screenshot sent by email)  it can be seen here:

I tried :redraw, CTrl-L nothing to do.

The strange thing is that the file is not written, cause when I close it vim doesn't ask me if I want to save, and re-opening bring it back to me.

 

Any ideas ?

Hello

 

Yet another question, I have a strange behavior in my Vim at work.

I often edit logs from process still working and still writing the log I'm reading in VIm (I have set autoread so it reloads)

and I often have a behavior where my file is like folded ;

All the part from the line 1 to current position of cursor disapears  and let this charcter g`

 

let says I Have

 

line1

line2

line3

line4

line5

line6  X <--- position of the cursor

line7

line8

line9

line10

etc...

 

I then have

 

 

g`line6 X

line7

line8

line9

line10

etc...

 

 

Entering command :0

bring me back my whole file.

 

I really don't know what happens.

Is there a way I can trace Vim into a log to know what happens?

 

 

Thank you for your attention.

 

Eddine.
