VIM Showmarks: highlighting entire file, even after being removed

[Dotan Cohen]

I just installed the Showmarks [1] VIM plugin. Now, when opening files
the entire file is highlighted in orange! rming the
~/.vim/plugin/showmarks.vim file does not return VIM to it's previous
state, the files are still highlighted in orange. What might have
happened, and how might I fix it? This is on a CentOS 5.x machine.

This may be a stupid question, but did you restart Vim after removing the plugin?

Another item - you might want to try removing .viminfo, too.

I haven't had any problems with showmarks, myself. I suggest clearing
up your problem and trying showmarks again.
Did the problem occur after you typed :ShowMarks ? That would suggest
that it is, indeed, the showmarks plugin causing the problem.

Actually, closing VIM and reopening did not help, but logging out of
the server and logging back in did.

The problem occurred when I first opened VIM after installing
ShowMarks. I tried to open the showmarks.vim file itself and the issue
occurred. I think that I also got a message that ~/.vim/doc/ShowMarks
(or similar) was now being created.
