   Vim behaving weirdly   
   27 Jul 19 05:08:27   
   
   I sometimes use vim to update text files and the current version for Opensuse   
   15.1 (vim-8.0.1568-lp151.5.3.1.x86_64) seems to be misbehaving at times.   
      
   - I locate some text using "/wronglyText"   
   - ESC   
   - Now I can update it if I feel the need.   
      
   - repeat with some other text, call it "otherText"   
      
   Sometime around now, locating "newText" still works but when I hit ESC it   
   jumps away from the newly located text to a previous hit, now using "n" to   
   "locate next instance" it searches for "otherText".   
      
   It may possibly be text number 4 which triggers this, not text number 3.   
   Exiting and re-entering vi does not help, it is fixated on the results of a   
   previous locate.   
   I have been looking around for where vim "remembers" things but without   
   success.
