Bug 64031 – Vim abbreviations are broken

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Neil Watson 2004-09-14 11:39:58 UTC]

I can see that the abbreviations are stored (:ab will list them).  However, the abbreviations do actually execute.  The same appears to be true for gvim.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. :ab xx extra
2. return to insert mode and insert xx
3. xx is NOT replace by extra

Hrm, works for me. You *are* pressing space after the xx, right?

Can you reproduce when starting vim with 'vim -U NONE -u NONE -i NONE'? This will disable the local and global vimrc files, and the local viminfo file.

What's the full output of :version from within vim?

What's the output of qpkg -v -I 'app-editors/.*vim.*' ? (qpkg is part of gentoolkit).

[Comment 2 Neil Watson 2004-09-14 15:12:30 UTC]

Using vim -U NONE -u NONE -i NONE abbreviations are successful.  When using global rc files (which are still at gentoo's defaults) abbreviations do not work.

Hrm, ok. A few things to try... There's a newer vim/vim-core/gvim version in ~arch that includes 6.0.023 which *might* fix it. If not, could you please figure out which statement in the global vimrc file is causing the problems?

[Comment 4 Neil Watson 2004-09-14 15:38:23 UTC]

I can't say what is wrong with the rc files.  I had a look but, nothing sticks out.  I will ask the vim mailing list.

[Comment 5 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-09-14 15:56:02 UTC]

Well, you can go through and comment things out until it starts to work...

[Comment 6 Neil Watson 2004-09-15 06:14:37 UTC]

The problem has something to do with the vimspell plugin.  When I unmerged it abbreviations returned to normal.

[Comment 7 Ciaran McCreesh 2004-09-16 14:13:00 UTC]

Ok, if you need this fixed, please contact the vimspell author.
