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
