Hmmm... Do you mean when you :e a different file? Because that's
normal.

This also seems normal. It seems like you're trying to open too many
files in split windows. I'd recommend not more than two split panes
per window [it just gets too cramped].
Try using :tabe <file> to open new files and using the key command
"gt" to switch between them.
If that doesn't work, try checking the value of the number of undo
levels (:set ul) and consider increasing it.
