Re: vim shows entire file in oneline

I found the cause, by binary search / test with my .vimrc

turns out to be this line:

set    fileformats=unix,dos,mac

funny that with it, in my server vim7.4 the log file was identified as "fileformat mac", and that caused the problem(everything in one line).

but with same exact configuration in my local PC vim8.1 , the same log file was identified as "fileformat unix", and I see multiple lines.

I wonder why? is this default behavior changed in vim8.1?

I just ran into a weird issue today...

when opening a log file in one of my server, It displays everything in one line, joined by ^J (ascii code 10).

g ctrl-g gives:

Col 32004 of 4999968-5005640; Line 1 of 1; Word 20 of 144087; Byte 32004 of 4999969

when I copy the same file into my local machine, and open it with vim here, it shows multiple lines.

Col 1 of 1736; Line 25 of 5672; Word 741 of 144087; Byte 66114 of 4999968

in both machine I use the same .vimrc. but the vim version is different.

in the server (running ubuntu 14.04): 

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Nov 24 2016 16:43:18)
Included patches: 1-52

in my local machine (running wsl in windows):

VIM - Vi IMproved 8.1 (2018 May 18, compiled Sep 03 2019 13:04:21)
Included patches: 1-1967

is this a known issue that got fixed? I doubted it though.

please shed some light on this. thanks.

regards
