Dear Maintainer,

starting vim as root without .vimrc and .vim/ results in following errors:

Error detected while processing TextChangedI Autocommands for "*"..script
/var/lib/vim/addons/autoload/UltiSnips.vim:
line   15:
Traceback (most recent call last):

If .vimrc and .vim/ are copied from the user home directory to /root/, then vim
and UltiSnips are working without issues.

Hello!

I cannot reproduce the errors in a clean container with empty /root folder. Is
the bug still relevant in 3.2-2 version of the package?
