[jpmv27]

Scenario 1)
To reproduce:

• g:bookmark_location_list=1
• Show two files in two separate tabs
• Place a bookmark in one file
• Switch to other tab
• BookmarkShowAll
• Select bookmark in file in first tab

Expected result:

• Switch tabs, go to bookmark

Actual result:

• Switch tabs, go to bookmark
• E924 error message

Scenario 2)
To reproduce:

• g:bookmark_location_list=1 and g:bookmark_auto_close=1
• Open a file
• Place a bookmark
• BookmarkShowAll
• Select bookmark

Expected result:

• Go to bookmark
• Close window

Actual result:

• Go to bookmark
• Close window
• E924 error message

I have Syntastic installed as well as vim-bookmarks
The problem does not happen if vim-bookmarks is using quickfix list instead of location list

I tried disabling all other plugins and I still see the issue with both scenarios (previous update was testing error)

[jpmv27]

I am mystified. I have disabled all plugins except vim-bookmarks and I have commented-out all autocmd in the vim-bookmarks code (except for VimEnter) and I can still reproduce the issue in scenario (1). Could this be a vim bug?

[jpmv27]

I'm now fairly certain that scenario (1) is a vim bug; see vim/vim#1167

[jpmv27]

Scenario (1) is due to a vim bug, see above.
Even with the fix for the vim bug applied, I can still reproduce scenario (2).
Work-around is to disable auto_close when using the loclist

Hi @jpmv27 ,

thx for reporting and investigating this issue. I tried to reproduce both scenarios just now (vim 8.2).

1. It works for me but doesn't change tab, instead it opens the file in the current tab which is also not ideal
2. This actually worked for me now, maybe it got fixed in the last 5 years?

Anyway, I'm sorry my response took sooooo long and hope this is good by now.
