Hi, I have a terribly annoying - but minor - issue on one of my windows vista ultimate 64-bit machines, which hits my productivity now and then, and I would really love to have it solved - and I hope this can contribute to the project as well.
Long story short - on this machine everything works fine, but accessing files with a UNC-path (\\computer\share\file) in vim/gvim (tried both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, from 7.2 and back to 5.8) bogs vim down - locks up for 2 minutes or so. Everything else works as it should. My simple test case is to try to load a file on the share //localhost/ share/file.txt My troubleshooting has lead me to suspect that there is something in this machine's configuration that causes problems for vim. Any tips on how I can proceed in locating this further? I am getting desperate! (Long story below...) * It applies to not only files on \\localhost * Turned off swap files * Loaded vim without any plugins/vimrc etc * Tried setting vim env var to blank * Played with different settings for %path% variable * Tried to examine what is happening using Procmon - shows that not much is happening when vim locks up. * When vim locks up - cpu is not pegged, nor is memory racing - it is just not responding * Applies to both console vim and gvim * Cygwin vim runs fine, does not have this issue * The system runs fine otherwise * Do not have an idea what caused this, but it was fine before a certain point... * Unfortunately didn't have any restore point... * Other programs like notepad, word, type.exe, firefox don't have this problem. * Tried to play a bit with WinDbg, but I am not literate enough in debugging to get anything useful out of this... * Tried with both shellslash on/off - no difference * The other Vista win64 machine I have should have a very similar set up - yet doesn't have this issue... Both are fresh installs, about a month old, and not upgraded. * vim loads the files file if the share is mount as a drive letter - e.g. z:\file.txt - also on remote computers * A very odd thing: //localhost/c$/file.txt loads fast - //localhost/ share/file.txt boggs down vim (where the share has a name longer than a few characters) * Filename completion when I start typing :e //localhost/share/fi<TAB> works fast - it is just the loading that takes time --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
