Hi there. I'm aware this reads like #894665 but as I understand that one was about "recursive" assignments in EDITOR. Not sure if there was ever an attempt to fix this which somehow didn't work, yet I just realized vidir stopped bothering about EDITOR at all. Strangely though it still tracks VISUAL. However, unsetting VISUAL and changing EDITOR at the same crashes right away: "exited nonzero, aborting". That message is similar to one mentioned in the other report, so maybe a related issue. In any case, EDITOR no longer works, with the man page still claming it does, this is a different problem now. Regards, Oliver
