Hi guys,
Thanks for some quick replies.
The suggestions on the autocmds were correct. I have worked out it is
the matchparen.vim plugin that is causing the problem. This plugin
ships with the stock Vim 7.2.
It sets various auto commands for highlighting the matching
parentheses. Disabling this plugin fixes my problem.
I haven't worked out *why* this plugin is causing my problem - in
theory it should be operating on the buffer in memory - not talking
back to the remote server. Strange.
For now I will just toggle the plugin on/off as I need to:
function! s:ToggleMatchParen()
if exists("g:loaded_matchparen")
:NoMatchParen
:echo 'MatchParen plugin turned off'
else
:DoMatchParen
:echo 'MatchParen plugin turned on'
endif
endfunction
Regards,
-adam
