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
