Description of problem: When passing a directory string including leading-slash to vim (e.g. '$ vim /etc/') should open a directory listing provided by the Netrw plugin. Instead vim states "Illegal file name" and fails to open a directory listing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.4.160-1.el7 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. With at least the below packages installed: vim-common.x86_64 2:7.4.160-1.el7 @base vim-enhanced.x86_64 2:7.4.160-1.el7 @base vim-filesystem.x86_64 2:7.4.160-1.el7 @base vim-minimal.x86_64 2:7.4.160-1.el7 @anaconda Create a simple directory with files: $ mkdir ~/testvim $ touch ~/testvim/somefiles{1..5} 2. Attempt to open the ~/testvim directory for browsing within vim $ vim ~/testvim/ Returns the error: "~/testvim/" Illegal file name The Netrw browsing panel is NOT presented. 3. Attempt without a leading slash WILL work: $ cd ~/ $ vim testvim/ The Netrw browsing panel IS presented showing the five files Actual results: Netrw directory browser is NOT shown Expected results: Netrw directory browser IS shown Additional info: Also present in Fedora release 20 (Heisenbug) (F21 untested)
