Re: Still having different pwd for different windows

I recently re-bumped up against this problem enough that I decided to take a wack of time trying to track it down again. Bascially, some buffers cause an automatic change of the pwd to the parent folder. Even if I do

:bufdo pwd

I get the same 20 odd answers for one window, but when I change windows, I get the same 20 odd answers that are different from the first 20 answers. I still haven't figured out what triggers it, but it doesn't happen all the time. Once the problem starts, however, the behaviour sticks and the condition seems to be captured in a mksession file. So if I fire up a new gvim, I can source the session file and the offending behaviour comes along with it. If I simply open a new gvim and revisit all the files I had on my buffer list, I don't see the behaviour come, at least not right away.

I tried to find an autochdir or a "cd %:p:h" command in the relevant files. Basically, I went to the directory containing _vimrc and vimfiles/ and issued the bash command for searching:

grep -i -w -r -e autochdir -e acd -e '%:p:h' \
*vim* ~/tmp/session.vim

The only lines that came up are commands for setting the Windows titlestring and iconstring:

_vimrc:set titlestring=v:%t%(\ %M%)%(\ (%{expand(\"%:p:h:s+.*/++\")})%)%(\ %a%)

_vimrc:set iconstring=v:%t%(\ %M%)%(\ (%{expand(\"%:p:h:s+.*/++\")})%)%(\ %a%)

These also show up in my session.vim and _viminfo.

Thanks to anyone who can suggest another way to deal with this.
