Hi, recently an issue popped up opening PDF files from within gvim. I used this configuration for years and it worked flawlessly. But recently something has changed (in vim's behaviour, I guess).
I have several mappings that open external files (some blocking, some non-blocking). And the non-blocking ones don't work any more in gvim. The processes get killed immediately. Removing all the vim commands, it boils down to the following examples (using xcalc as an example here): " this works, it opens the calculator and upon closing the calculator gvim " continues :!xcalc " this opens the calculator and immediately quits and returns to gvim, in the " past it kept the process running :!xcalc& Did something change in vim regarding opening external processes? How can I restore the old behaviour? Or more importantly: How can I open external processes in a non-blocking way?
