Hi

PCLinuxOS has just upgraded Vim to version 8.0.163 but since then the command
line history doesn't work for me. The problem is that any command listed by q/
and selected for action just returns me to the file being edited.

I've tried to find out if any of the plugins I use are responsible by starting
Vim with -u NONE but that hasn't helped because the command line history
normally accessed by q/ showed it was empty.

Two more attempts at finding the cause also failed:

1) I moved the entire .vim directory to another name hoping that the problem
might be caused by one of the plugins I use. This didn't make any difference to 
the problem. I checked that none of the plugins we listed in :scriptnames
and they weren't. 
        
2) Then I tried changing the name of the .vimrc file to 'newvim' to no
avail - the problem is still there. Again I checked :scriptnames and nothing
showed except the standard scripts in /etc/vim and /usr/share/vim. 

I put a request on the PCLinuxOS forum to see if anyone else has had the
problem but so far there's been no response to my post, although I'm sure I
can't be the only Vim user on the forum.

Has any one else had this experience and is there a cure or a better way to
find the cause of the problem?

Cheers

G
