When I do this I often see stray characters displayed in the current buffer. For example, I can press "j" several times to move down in the current buffer. It will work a few times and then start displaying "j" characters instead of moving down. After that point, if I press the esc key I will see "^[" displayed. The function I use to get my statusline string is called each time the cursor is moved. The problem goes away if I remove calls to system() in that function. Is this possibly related to the system() calls taking a while to return?
This is how I configured my statusline: setlocal statusline=%!MyStatuslineFunction() -- R. Mark Volkmann Object Computing, Inc. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
