Thanks all. Yes its weird, according to dpkg I have 7.2x and this is indeed the binary at /usr/bin/vim.basic which I ran for the first time a few seconds ago.
Normally I run the binary /usr/local/bin/vim which is 7.3 I do not remember how I achieved this - sorry. Anyway it has been compiled thusly: -multi_byte +multi_lang All I want is the 7.3 goodness (like serialised undo) *and* displaying of multibyte chars without silly spell error messages. Now the whole point of this mail is: I DO have this in this version of vim but not all the time. For example when mutt spawns the very same vim, it does NOT show the multibyte character and gives a spell error. If however I e: a file into a second buffer then it DOES render perfectly but not of course when I r: that file. So far I diff'ed the settings and there is no significant differnce between the buffers. huh? How do I find out how to ensure that vim works the way I want each time? -- - Eric Smith Christian Brabandt said: > On Thu, April 21, 2011 1:40 am, Adam Monsen wrote: > >> +multibyte > > > > Just a small nit: this should be +multi_byte. > > True. > > > > > And there is no "standard lucid vim package" of Vim 7.3.
