Package: vim Version: 2:8.0.0197-4+deb9u2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
The recent security upgrade to vim (2:8.0.0197-4+deb9u2) has affected syntax highlighting. When jumping between files using :e <filename> syntax highlighting works as expected. However, as soon as you flip back to a previous file with :e# syntax highlighting disappears, and it does not appear that it can subsequently be re-enabled (:syntax on, :set syntax=cpp etc). Exiting vim and reloading works, until the next :e# command. I have no vim customisations (.vimrc or .vim/). Downgrading to 2:8.0.0197-4+deb9u1 solves the problem. -- Package-specific info: --- real paths of main Vim binaries --- /usr/bin/vi is /usr/bin/vim.basic /usr/bin/vim is /usr/bin/vim.basic -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.9 APT prefers stable APT policy: (1000, 'stable'), (500, 'stable-updates') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-9-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages vim depends on: ii libacl1 2.2.52-3+b1 ii libc6 2.24-11+deb9u4 ii libgpm2 1.20.4-6.2+b1 ii libselinux1 2.6-3+b3 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20161126-1+deb9u2 ii vim-common 2:8.0.0197-4+deb9u2 ii vim-runtime 2:8.0.0197-4+deb9u2 vim recommends no packages.
