Bug#375127: vim: bufwinleave does not work across tabs

[Kamaraju Kusumanchi]

Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-017+8
Severity: normal

To reproduce the bug

$cat temp1.txt
This is temp1.txt

$cat temp2.txt
This is temp2.txt

$cat ~/.vimrc
au BufWinLeave *.txt mkview
au BufWinEnter *.txt loadview

$gvim temp1.txt

Now inside gvim do

:tabe temp2.txt

this will open temp2.txt in a new tab. Inside this tab enter

:q

Now quit temp1.txt also by doing

:q

At this point 2 files have to be written to ~/.vim/view . However only
one file is written.

$ls ~/.vim/view/
~=+temp=+temp1.txt=

If I replace the :tabe command by :sp or :vs then two files (one for
temp1.txt, one for temp2.txt) are written as expected. I am seeing the
same behavior in vim as well as gvim.

I initially asked this question on vim user's mailing list
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vim/message/70439 and people there cannot
reproduce this problem. So I am guessing it is a problem in the debian
package which is why I am reporting here.

thanks
