If you add capital letter mark, then delete it, it will reappear the next time
you restart Vim.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Open a file and add a mark "mA"
2) Exit Vim
3) Restart Vim and delete the mark using ":delmarks A"
4) Confirm that mark has been deleted via ":marks" command
--- does it make a difference if you execute :wv at this point?
See :help :wviminfo
5) Exit Vim
6) Restart Vim and run ":marks" command, and you see that the deleted mark has
reappeared
Note: If you change a mark to a different file, it gets correctly persisted
across Vim sessions, as you'd expect. Only deleting a mark doesnt work.
Platform:
Windows 7 x64
Vim 7.3.46 (stock build)
That's quite an old build: the 7.3.046 patchlevel was released on 27
October 2010, more than three years ago. For Windows, I recommend
whatever is newest at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/Vim/
-- that Vim distribution, familiarly dubbed "Vim without Cream" by some
list regulars (me included) is updated fairly often. As a matter of
comparison, it is now at 7.3.762 since 3 January, while Bram's latest
source is at 7.3.798 since 31 January, so it is perhaps not perfect
(what is?) but it is a lot more up-to-date than that 7.3.46 on the
vim.org site. It is not regarded as "official" because Bram does not
compile it himself, but it is compiled from Bram's pristine sources. The
":version" listing of the gvim build in that package can be seen by
clicking the particular version you're interested in, then looking at
its "release-notes.txt" file. (The other file, the .exe, is a W32
self-installer.)
If you want something even more recent, you can of course compile your
own, see
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Getting_the_Vim_source_with_Mercurial
http://users.skynet.be/antoine.mechelynck/vim/compile.htm
but OTOH I expect that Steve Hall (the maintainer of the Cream site and
of the Vim-without-Cream distribution) will soon run his build script
again, to pick up the latest patches. When he does, a new Vim version
will appear at the top of the Vim-without-Cream download page which I
mentioned earlier.
This Vim-without-Cream is a W32 build but it ought to run on both W32
and W64 systems. If you insist on a 64-bit Vim, the one compiled by
George V. Reilly, which can be found by following links starting at
www.vim.org, seems to be still at 7.2 (I haven't tried it, I am on
Linux; once upon a time I had a Windows machine, but I scrapped it when
Vim was still at 7.0aa alpha). I have no first-hand experience on
compiling a 64-bit Windows Vim so I cannot guide you through any
differences with compiling a 32-bit build.
A summary of all 7.3 patchlevels so far (with a one-line description of
each of them) can be had (and will continue to be updated) at
ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/README (or also by http: )
Best regards,
Tony.
