  I'm pretty sure this is a ConqueTerm issue. Vim buffers don't "run", they have static  text in them which only changes when you or an autocmd changes it (except for buffers  modified outside of Vim, but Vim only checks this buffer content when it regains focus,   comes back from a shell command, or the user uses the :checktime command). If a  ConqueTerm buffer is not updating when you expect it to, that's ConqueTerm's fault.  

  This is definitely ConqueTerm's fault, and nothing to do with Vim.    There have been a few recently suggested solutions to the issue in  ConqueTerm, which  I hope to investigate soon. However most of them will likely have  unpredictable side  effects, which makes me hesitant to adopt them.    Nico  (ConqueTerm author)
