Description Jose G. Juanino 2015-01-31 00:03:31 UTC 
Hi,

the installed system wide gvimrc runs "set nocompatible" and thus breaks a lot of previous settings in custom $HOME/.vimrc. As you can read in the user manual about compatible:

CAREFUL: Setting or resetting this option can have a lot of unexpected effects: Mappings are interpreted in another way, undo behaves differently, etc.  If you
set this option in your vimrc file, you should probably put it at the
very start.

It could be fine run "set nocompatible" in vimrc system-wide, but not in gvimrc.

Regards

Reassigning to myself. Submitter: is this still a problem?

Hi Adam, thanks you for rescue this bug.

The issue is still open. See the following thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/vim_use/66crU745cFc

My workaround is comment the "set nocompatible" line in system wide gvimrc, and remember to do it in each vim upgrade.

Regards

Committed a quick fix that just yanks that line out of the gvimrc. Thanks!
