I'm sorry I don't have a better subject line; I can't get too much more specific.
I created the following test .vimrc, and saved it to %TEMP%\test.vim on Windows 7: set nocompatible set nowrap filetype on syntax on let &balloonexpr="'synname: '.synIDattr(synID(v:beval_lnum, v:beval_col, 0), 'name')" set ballooneval I launched Vim with: gvim -N -u %TEMP%\test.vim --noplugin -i NONE %TEMP%\test.vim When the gvim window pops up, sometimes when I hover over syntax highlighted text, the tooltip balloon comes up with the name of the syntax group. After viewing a few balloon tooltips, inevitably the tooltip stops appearing no matter how long I hover over a highlighted word. Sometimes, the tooltip doesn't come up at all even right after launching Vim. The only way I've found to recover is close the file, and open it in a brand new Vim. I'm using 7.3.822 from the "Vim without Cream" install. As I mentioned, I reproduced with the simple .vimrc above on Windows 7. With actual tooltip I found this in to begin with, I saw the issue on Windows XP 64-bit as well. I just haven't gotten around to reducing it to a smaller case until now. I can't think of anything I might be doing wrong with so simple a test case, but please point it out if you see it. Otherwise, I think this is a bug. :set balloondelay? ballooneval? balloonexpr? shows the expected values of balloonexpr and ballooneval, and balloondelay of 600. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
