People,

Vim is displaying the same file differently and behaving differently
when the file is in different directories:

In:

  rails_dir/rails_app/log/development.log

Vim processes the ESC sequences as normal to give coloured text but
the command "1G" does not work - but if I copy the file with "cp -a ":

  rails_dir/development.log

the ESC sequences show up like:

   Connecting to database specified by database.yml
   ^[[1m^[[36m (0.1ms)^[[0m  ^[[1mselect sqlite_version(*)^[[0m

but the command "1G" works as expected.  I have renamed .vimrc but the
odd behaviour persists - what I am missing?

 what I am missing?


The output of

    :scriptnames

can aid understanding in these situations. "normal" behaviour of vim is to display escape sequences like your second case, not the first; in that first case there must be a script, or commands in a .vimrc, causing
the sequences to be interpreted; the one I know about is AnsiEsc.vim,
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=302.


The output of :scriptnames hereunder but I still don't understand - does it mean that one of those scripts is recognising the directory that the log file is in and causing Vim to change it's display of the log file?

Thanks,

Phil.
