Hello Vim List,

I am having a problem trying to echo a message triggered by
an autocmd on BufEnter when entering a tab page.

Try this:

    :au BufEnter foo echom "Entered foo"

First lets try opening a window on the same tab page:

    :sp foo

The message appears in the command line area as expected.
Switching between windows, the messages is seen each time
foo is entered.  

Wipe foo with:  :bw foo

Now try a tab page:

    :tabe foo

The message appears as expected.  However leaving and then
entering the foo tab page does not display the message!

Typing :mes shows that the message was indeed displayed.
What is overwriting it?

Best regards,
Bill
