I am forwarding this post from comp.editors because I think it will
receive more attention here. After reading this, I observed the
issue using vim 7.2.148 on a Red Hat Linux system. My ~/.vimrc is a
symlink to ~/.vim/vimrc. When I execute this in my home directory:
vim .vimrc .vim/vimrc
and then execute this within vim:
:args
I see this:
[.vimrc] .vimrc

Hi,
If you do
$ vi is_this_a_vim_bug*
or
$ vi is_this_a_vim_bug.hardlink is_this_a_vim_bug.softlink
Given
$ ls -l is_this_a_vim_bug*
-rw-rw-r-- 2 marky marky 29 Aug 26 11:46
is_this_a_vim_bug
-rw-rw-r-- 2 marky marky 29 Aug 26 11:46
is_this_a_vim_bug.hardlink
lrwxrwxrwx 1 marky marky 6 Aug 26 11:46
is_this_a_vim_bug.softlink -> is_this_a_vim_bug
and then use :n to move to the next file then vi doesn't change the
filename in the status bar at the bottom.
I think it should. If it is trying to indicate that we are still on
the same file then it should state that clearly, e.g
is_this_a_vim_bug.hardlink linked to is_this_a_vim_bug or
is_this_a_vim_bug.hardlink is same file as is_this_a_vim_bug
I've reproduced this on RHEL v3 with vim v6.3.81 and on Debian v4.0
with vim v7.0.235, v7.0.305 & v7.2.245.
I think this is a bug, or at least an opportunity to make it clearer
to the user what is happening.
Cheers,
Mark
