Thank you both! I don't know if that was the reason. It occured to new instances of vim, in all open instances at the same time and also reopening didn't solve the problem. But at some point (maybe closing all instances at the same time and then reopening one) solved the problem. I actually can't really tell. However, the problem doesn't occur any longer. But for the next time I'll know where to start looking.
