Just started using vim 7 (I know, I'm a "late adopter"), and mostly I like
it, but I've noticed a couple of quirks. One is that it seems to lose
syntax context when switching windows. I will have a perl source file open,
everything looks fine. Then I switch to another window (actual Window
window with Alt-Tab), when I come back the entire thing is highlighted as
literal text. I have a lot of literal text in this file, and I have seen
this happen with old Vim 6.3, but it seems to be happening more often with
Vim 7.
Another is that the syntax highlighting doesn't seem to happen
automatically. When I do :filetype it comes back as conf. I have to put a
syntax on line in the appropriate ftplugin file for it to happen. Is this
something new?
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
