I observed that in the recent update for Vim, specifically vim 9.0.1420, it is now possible to create a text file, open it, and then open the same file through another terminal window without encountering the familiar warning message related to .swp files. This message was previously displayed before the update and helped prevent editing an already opened file.
Would anybody help me (scritpnames test, etc) to narrow down the cause of this problem?
Thank you.

vim -u NONE -i NONE? Can you reproduce the problem withvim --clean?vim -u NONE test.txtand through another terminal windowvim -u NONE test.txt, I can see the.swpwarning. Same withvim --clean test.txt. Could you help me to narrow down where the problem is? Super, many thanksvim --cleanstarts Vim without plugins. The "problem" is probably with one of your plugin. My advice would be to do some kind of binary search (disable half of them, disable the other half, ...) to find the culprit.
