Hi,

I'm using Vim 7.2.445 on Debian, with no .vimrc or .gvimrc.

I write a file to the /tmp path, called x.c
call("look
call_something();

I load up that file in gvim
vim /tmp/x.c

Turn on syntax
:syntax on

Split the buffer
:sp

And put a quote at the end of the first line, so it looks like call("look"
A"

The top buffer is correctly coloured, the bottom buffer is not.

Why? How can I fix it?
It is a source of a lot of syntax colour problems for me.

thanks,
Paul


I recommend:

:set nocompatible
:filetype plugin on
:syntax on

or even (at startup, instead of them)

:runtime vimrc_example.vim

You may want to do the latter automatically at every startup by creating a ~/.vimrc with (for the time being) only the single line

runtime vimrc_example.vim

Later, perhaps, you will add additional lines, probably after this one.


Best regards,
Tony.
