mini.trailspace only gets disabled in Flog buffer after Ctrl-N or Ctrl-P

[ccjmne]

Hey,

I'm a very new user of vim-flog and am stoked to start using it extensively: thank you for your great project! I just checked out the new release, 3.0.0 (from a mere few minutes ago!) and am experiencing some issue with mini.trailspace with Neovim.

Here's a recording of what I'm experiencing:

Here's a description of what I'm doing in the recording:

• I'm opening Neovim in a playground project
• I enter the Flog buffer
• I toggle all branches with A (the issue also is reproduced without that step, in projects where the history presents lines with a trailing whitespace)
• I move around a bit with j and k, then with Ctrl-U and Ctrl-D, and the issue persists
• I start navigating the commits with Ctrl-N and Ctrl-P` and the issue immediately goes away.

The previous version I had installed just prior to upgrading to 3.0.0 would exhibit precisely the same issue.

Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I just noticed that note in the README:

Highlighting is done only in modifiable buffer by default, only in Normal mode, and stops in Insert mode and when leaving window.

I'm not too sure which buffer that is (sorry, gonna have to do some reading, I'm really that new to using this tool), but here's a screenshot showing that the current buffer I see the mini.trailspace highlights is indeed not modifiable:

Other than that, I figured the following might be of some relevance:

• mini.trailspace's version is "live" (from master, current commit checked out is d231729)
• vim-flog's version is at 3.0.0, commit e7a0e9f)

Ah, of course, I only notice your request for feedback open for a few weeks (#135) now... my apologies.

You're more than welcome to post any new issues as you see fit.

It does appear to be a problem with mini.trailspace, we're setting b:minitrailspace_disabled as soon as possible. The buffer is not modifiable, but that's after setting the buffer content. See also this comment

Workaround in init.lua:

vim.api.nvim_create_autocmd(
  "User",
  {
    pattern = { "FlogUpdate" },
    callback = function (ev)
      require("mini.trailspace").unhighlight()
    end,
  }
)

Excellent, thank you very much!
