In that case, use the &g: prefix. For example, try the following
experiment:
:set spell
:new
:setl spell!
:echo &spell &l:spell &g:spell
I think you should get
0 0 1
(as I do). So &spell references the local value of the option, not the
global value. Now, consider the lines
let w:spellkeep = &spell
...
if exists("w:spellkeep")|let &spell = w:spellkeep |unlet w:spellkeep|endif
in $VIMRUNTIME/autoload/netrw.vim . The first sets w:spellkeep to the
local value, and the second sets the global value.
Bottom line: while testing the OP's problem before my original
post on this thread, I did find that options ended up being set in ways
I did not want nor expext, and
:verbose set spell?
told me that netrw was the culprit.
