The behavior of the current implementation is the same as that of the neovim behavior. When a new tabpage is created, it inherits the directory state of the previous tabpage and window. If the previous tabpage had a tab-local directory set, then the new tabpage also has the same tab-local directory set. If the previous window had a window-local directory, then the new window in the new tabpage also has a window-local directory. > > This is annoying.

If it is not set, then use the global directory. This will not be backward compatible though. Regards, Yegappan -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
