This is due to the way Vim saves files (it renames the original file for backup, then saves a new file, then finally deletes the backup). You can work around this by setting 'backupcopy' to 'yes': :set backupcopy=yes See, ":h 'bkc" for more information (also take a look at ":h backup-table", ":h 'backup" and ":h 'writebackup").
