Hi folks, I am using vim as installed on opensuse, and have a question about it now that I have googled for, and cannot find any definitive information about.Or at least, any information that I can parse into something that "works for me". The only information I've come up with, that appears to bear on the behavior I see is stuff about folding, but I've tried turning it off (set nofoldenable), and nothing changes. The version of vim that opensuse loads is v7.3.831 according to the splash screen it throws up.
My question is that when I fire up vim on some file, it begins with thefile itself just fine. But then, after a few seconds, I get a grey bar on the left side of the screen, in which some various symbols and numbers appear. For an example, take a look at the attached jpg. If I ever do a normal highlight and click,to get text from one window to another, the characters inside the grey barcome along too, and the grey bar turns into a two column wide space in thetransfered text, which is rather annoying and is most of the reason for myquestion here What is this functionality, why would I want it, and how can I get rid of it if in fact I don't want it after learning what it is? Thanks for any help you can provide to me, Andy -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
