Trying to modify a single file in two different instances of Vim at the same
time is always a bad idea. Normally you ought to get a message in the second
instance (see ":help ATTENTION").
- Does it work if you open the file read-only at least one of both times? For
instance,
view foobar.txt
in the shell, or
:view foobar.txt
or
:sview foobar.txt
in Vim?
- When not readonly either time (your original case), are you sure that the
first Vim creates its swap file someplace where the second Vim can find it?
- Does the crash happen if the file is not being edited in another Vim but if
you create a dummy, zero-length "swapfile" next to it? For instance,
(Windows)
copy NUL foobar.txt.swp
vim foobar.txt
or (Unix)
cp -v /dev/null .foobar.txt.swp
vim foobar.txt
assuming, in both cases, that the file is in the current directory (and, on
Windows, on the current disk)
Note: I _think_ those are the correct swapfile names, but I'm not on a
multiboot system anymore. Check it first with
vim foobar.txt
followed by
:swapfile
Of course, in the above, replace everywhere "foobar.txt" by the name of your
"file opened in another session".
If you mean that you are trying to edit the same file in different versions of
Vim, but not at the same time, please say so, because then I have
misunderstood you.
Best regards,
Tony.
