I haven't been able to reproduce this consistently, but I get a behavior where opening a file in a new tab in MacVim fails. I started seeing this error maybe beginning about a week ago.
Generally it happens after a terminal has been open for a while and I open a new tab, then try to load a file in the buffer with `:e`. The screen becomes unresponsive and does not respond to key commands. There is nothing on the screen when this happens. I can still open/ close the Macvim menus. Trying to close the window via the menu does nothing; I have to quit the app and restart. Here is a stack trace of the last 15 seconds or so before the hang: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/568246/ After the freeze the logging to terminal just stopped and the terminal prompt appeared again. Here are some possible culprits, ordered by how likely I think they are: - 3rd party plugins, including syntastic and rainbow highlights. - my .vimrc file. I tried putting echo's in to see if it was failing mid-load, but the .vimrc file loads fine. Also, the freeze only happens when I load the 3rd or 4th file into a buffer, and the vimrc doesn't look like it's running again. - using zsh. I'm not sure what about zsh would cause the freeze but it's possible. - editing files across a symbolic link - downloading Snow Leopard updates - currently running 10.6.8 with version 53 of MacVim. -- You received this message from the "vim_mac" maillist.
