Any news about this?! The vim is still very bad on Ubuntu 20.04. Any recommendation for a better /etc/vim/* ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767314 Title: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/1767314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Setting regexpengine=1 drops this back down to 1.4 seconds. So either this is the root cause of this particular slowdown (i.e. when syntax highlighting gitolite format files) or at least compensates for whatever is the root cause. According to https://stackoverflow.com/posts/38521226 the default regexp engine changed with Vim 7.4. This was the version shipped with Trusty onwards so in theory was already in use on 14.04 and 16.04 ubuntu so something doesnt quite tie up -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767314 Title: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/1767314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Just by way of more info I was editing a gitolite conf file of 4096 lines with
the following stats to render the syntax with the cursor at the end of the file
The total time taken was 5 seconds. By default redrawtime is set to 2 seconds
so the 5 srconds taken represents a considetable drop off in performance. It
is true that 18.04 feels sluggish. Maybe Spectre malware fix slowdowns?

[Bug 1767314] Re: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly
Further investigation with a recompiled version more recent than that shipped with 18.04 yields that syntax highlighting failure is caused by redrawtime being exceeded - often triggered after using G to move to the end of the file. It is not possible to set "syntax on" manually at that point as it immediatetly gets disabled again unless you move to the start of the file with g. This explains the "persistence" due to the "jump to the previously edited line in the file" setting being set - but forgetting it upon deletion of .viminfo as this is where this Info is stored. Without it vi opens with the cursor at line 1. In my case this problem has occurred following an upgrade and has never happened before on the same hardware running the same applications for many years with lots of files being edited multiple times every day - day in day out. Ie something in the timing dynamics when running vi has changed wirh 18.04 See https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/2790 for further discussion and possible workarounds. ** Bug watch added: github.com/vim/vim/issues #2790 https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/2790 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767314 Title: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/1767314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The mis-interpretation of PC cursor keys when accessed vi ssh (as described in the discussion link above) is very remeniscent of trying to use vim.tiny not vim.basic (which server install defaults to).

[Bug 1767314] Re: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly
The "set nocompatible" fix doesn't work on 18.04.1 LTS server. The trigger condition appears to be a random operation and not repeatable. Symptoms include loss of tab completion and syntax highlighting. It is persistent through a re-edit of the same file. The fault can be cleared by removing .viminfo until the next random occurence. Given the use of vi on a server instance with no GUU is very high I would request the importance of this bug is set to high as it significantly damages productivity when used in a professional context. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1767314 Title: Ubuntu Bionic vi/vim not working correctly To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vim/+bug/1767314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
