question about tabline

[gauteh]

Hi,

thanks for this plugin -- though I needed airline -- turns out that was wrong. This is perfect. The tabline I understand is not so easy to show any meaningful identification in. I am using the flagship defaults, but if I have e.g. two tabs whenever I switch tabs the tab label always shows the same path in for all tabs! Is this intentional? Could perhaps be caused by some funky change directory stuff that I have... though if I run :pwd I get two different paths (as expected).

It should show the current working directory (or directories) for each tab. Funky change directory stuff could indeed affect things. Report back on your Vim version. The presence of patch 7.4.1126 affects the logic used.

Seems that the issue could be related to vim-rooter and set autochdir. vim-rooter allegedly unsets autochdir, but I have vim-rooter in only_manual mode..

Either way, if I have both autochdir with vim-rooter on (in manual mode) it doesn't work. If I have only one of them it works.

Check if :echo getcwd() and :pwd match. Playing around with 'autochdir' I'm able to get them not to match pretty easily, which smells like a Vim bug.

Yeah - that seems to be the case here as well (when the issue occurs). This just worked for re-producing, but don't have a super reliable way:

1. open vim (I have startify)
2. open file
3. split window
4. open another file somewhere else (in my case wiki)

• swapping between the windows does not update tab now.

5. create new tab
6. open one of the bufs

• tabs now remain stationary at wrong dir or swap between.
• :pwd and getcwd() mismatch.

You should look into reporting that as a Vim bug then. Not much Flagship can do about it. Or avoid 'autochdir' entirely, as it's always been pretty wonky.
