bug#20521: Viper version is 3.14.2 of July 4, 2013; After some hours of use I don't enter viper mode automatically on new files

[Alan Morgan]

 

Congratulations! You may have unearthed a bug in Viper!

Please mail a concise, accurate summary of the problem to the address above.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I don't have a reproducible case (sorry) and am working on debugging

this myself, but it's hard to reproduce. I have emacs up all the time

and I've noticed that after "a few hours" viper-mode won't be entered in

automatically for new buffers (loaded with C-x C-f or :r. It doesn't

seem to matter). I have to M-x viper-mode manually.

 

Up until this point I've focused on set-viper-state-in-major-mode. It

looks like viper-current-state is set to vi-state even though I'm not in

viper-mode. This seems wrong to me (I'm assuming this state is only set

when in viper-mode), but I can't figure out how it's happening.

 

Googling has not been productive yet, hence this (rather unhelpful, I imagine) bug report.
