bnext switching problem

[llinfeng]

It seems that the bnext will always call the new buffer to be the "primary buffer", which is fixed to the left edge and occupies the entire vertical split.
Is there a way to tune this? Yet maintaining the functionality of the primary buffer?

For detailed description, please refer to my posting on this link:

All the best,

Hey @llinfeng !
I was struggling with the same issue and investigated a little bit. I have the strong suspicion that this line is missing an ! operator right at the beginning of the if-statement.
Changing the line to:

au BufWinEnter * if !&l:buflisted || &l:filetype == 'help' | call DWM_AutoEnter() | endif

seemed to fix the problem for me.

Hope this helps!

@TimoDritschler: Fantastic! What an elegant solution! I have updated the .vim file and have it available through Vundle as the following Github repo:

Thanks again!
