Re: Annoying vim problem - again

Hello Christian

I have checked my configuration files. As far as I can tell the only u's there are in mappings that use "source" and "curl" and in commented out lines. Commented out lines do begin with " I believe. For source files I use them as such "^[:source ..." and for curl I do use it the same, by escaping insert mode and opening a command and entering the curl command in a mapping.

After removing undofile and undodir, I do not have any undo files in the /tmp directory at least. Maybe there are undo files that the system is using. So I will have to wait and see if the same thing happens again.

Regards

What Jürgen meant was that you apparently have an undo command in one of
your Vim configuration files. That has nothing to do with the persistent
undo feature. Please see the help at :h persistent-undo for why one may
want to enable this feature.

So please check carefully your configuration. It may also help to verify
that the issues does not happen when starting vim using `vim --clean`.

Thanks,
Christian
