To simplify it even more, I backed up my ~/.vim dir and put barely anything
in my .vimrc. Then I created this xml:
<test>
<level-one>
<name>Foo</name>
<name>Boo</name>
<level-two>
<something>A</something>
<something>B</something>
</level-two>
</level-one>
<level-one>
<name>C</name>
<name>D</name>
</level-one>
</test>
Now if my cursor is in the first <level-one> tag, and I do zc or even za,
I'd expect JUST that fist level-one node to collapse, instead EVERYTHING
collapses so that it looks like:
<test>
+-- 12 lines:
<level-one>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</test>
If I then go to expand the node above it's as if it had collapsed all
level-one nodes:
<test>
<level-one>
+--- 6 lines:
<name>Foo</name>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</level-one>
<level-one>
+--- 2 lines:
<name>C</name>---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
</level-one>
</test>
Why is this? How do I get the typical folding that I'm used to in other
editors/ides? I want the behavior where you can just collapse single nodes.
Thanks for any help in getting to the bottom of this.
