Listmates,
There is a bug in the latest vim. Something prevents split windows from completely closing requiring an additional :q to exit. Take for example any two text files. I'll use /boot/grub/menu.lst and menu.lst.sav. To confirm the bug, do the following:
cd /boot/grub vim menu.lst :split menu.lst.sav ## you now have both windows open with menu.lst.sav on top [1] :q (to exit menu.lst.sav, you get --No lines in buffer-- msg) [2] :q (to exit menu.lst, the syntax highlighting is killed but no exit??) [3] :q (finally, after 3rd quit, you actuall exit)

Is this a bug I need to report or does it look like a configuration issue?
This seems like it's a plugin issue. If I had to guess, I'd say it's minibufexplorer, which I see in the screenshots Try "vim --noplugin -u NONE -U NONE foo" then repeat the process and see if it still happens. That's a barebones vim with no config files or plugins
