I am really curious as to why this is happening. I have this line in my .vimrc file (I am using WSL2 on windows and this line helps support copying from vim to the system clipboard):
set clipboard=unnamedplus " system copy-paste support 1. get vim-gtk 2. set this 3. for WSL, vcxsrv and set option in .bashrc
Disregarding the bad practice of making such a long line, I noticed something curious. When I enter insert mode my cursor is just at the space after the word "support". I backspace to delete "support". I type in "also:", and the moment I insert the colon character, the change is undone, and I am moved to normal mode. The line goes back to the state I was, as if I had never changed it.
What on earth could be causing this?
The full .vimrc is probably too big to fit on this question. I know that external sites like pastebin are not recommended, however I do not know where else to put it, so, this is my entire .vimrc: https://pastebin.com/gD45NYEX (let me know if there is a better place to put it). Thank you for all the help.
Again, here is the link to my full .vimrc
